Better than iBook

by Qutie133, Australia, September 24, 2014

Others that keep saying that you are unable to download your books are wrong. You can download epub books on safari and instead of opening on iBooks, you tap open in others and tap on this app. I love how the pages flip automatically so when I'm reading in bed I don't have to tap on my ipad. You can also choose the page colour and the text colour, another big plus so I can adjust the colours according to how bright my surroundings are. I can also change my brightness by swiping up and down on the screen instead of tapping on menu. I have ditched my iBooks and am now using this. Thanks for the awesome app!

This is one of my all-time favourite and most-used apps. Worth every penny. Not only do I download classic literature to read quickly and easily (love that I can download straight from Gutenberg etc) but I can even open my Instapaper articles on it. I can read novels in just a few hours and articles in seconds. It's customisable and the updates are great. One request to the darlings who created this: I'd love to know the definitions for words without having to pull up another app. Please? And a font for dyslexic readers would be awesome. Thanks again for your wonderful app. Keep up the good work!

Great app and a suggestion

by Williamschaerer899, United States, April 11, 2014

I am really enjoying this app. I am already able to read faster by focusing better now on the rate of speed I should be progressing through text outside of the app. It is not the greatest on the iphone just because the size of the phone, so I may invest in an iPad of some sort to be as to read the documents like they are normal books. This with the intention that it will be easier to transfer to a hard copy format. Tips: Slower reading, do 2 stops per line. Start trying to peripheral read. Faster, discipline yourself into 1 stop per line, focusing on peripheral vision. Doing stops per line when you get faster will cause your eyes to hurt. Suggestion: increase the speed. I'm nowhere near 4000wpm, but a higher limit gives the possibility for a higher goal. This app does not read pdf or word documents (as far as I know). They suggest you download a program to your computer. I have not used it yet to know how it works.

Great app . Defintely worth the money. I like the fact that we can import our own books in epub format and view in many different reading speeds and fixations . One nice feature to have would be option to view scrolling text . That is much smoother to read than jumping motion .i hope they will add that feature sometime ..

It makes me more productive, because it helps me read faster. Recommended!

Good app for speeding up

by cdt95, United States, August 30, 2013

I found the app to Beverly helpful in speeding up my reading and staying focused. I was able to easily import an ePub for school and read it much faster than in iBooks. The app helped me to stay focused and get through the material more efficiently.

My favorite reader

by SheynaDad, United States, August 30, 2013

It's the easiest to use with the most functionality of any of my text and PDF readers. And I can read long articles with ease even on my iPhone.

Before I begin, let me say that this is a very useful app. I wish that it had two more things, though. First, I wish that it had one of those flash word generators. If you don't know what I'm talking about then check out RSVP reader for Firefox. And secondly, i wish that quick reader would allow me to import kindle books.

I absolutely love this app, and would encourage everyone that reads a lot to buy it. The interface is easy to use, and the library is beyond extensive, but the only problem that I've had is with reading books on my iPad Mini. I have certainly noticed that the new version opens nicely on my iPad (not pixelated), but some of the books are still difficult, if not impossible to read. Most people today purchase an iPad or iPad Mini, so that they can read books, magazines, and news papers; and I know of very few that are willing to do so on their iPhone. My request is simply that further development go into making this app more compatible and usable with the devices on which most people would like to use it.

Absolutely a HUGE Time Saver

by envisionteky, United States, July 30, 2013

I love this app because it helps me save time which equals enjoying the parts of life that require more of it.

Using this app, I found that I can read much faster than I thought. It's a great tool for practicing and I'm enjoying the books provided. I hope there will br a Kindle or PDF version later, but for $5 and millions of good books available, it's already a bargain.

Great app!!! But?

by Leylimc, United States, July 15, 2013

Great app love it training me to read faster l went from 180 wpm to 400 wpm right now with only 2 weeks l been using this app in the daily basis 1 hour a day some times 2 hours The only thing I will like for the developers,to add it makes a lot of sense some way I could imports to the app my own books from my personal library !!!!

I love that I can read my favorite classics and practice speed reading at the same time. I'm impressed with the wide selection of classics to choose from. This is a great app, especially at this price. I do have a short wish-list. 1) The ability to import books, or open files from my nook or kindle apps and practice speed-reading with those. 2) a tracking system so I can see my progress over time, not just since my last session.

A lot of people think reading is a mindful exercise. It's not. You enjoy what you comprehend, not what you slowly gaze over in a languishing pace. This is a great app. Comprehension doesn't go away– start at a reasonable pace, and try to gradually increase that pace as your brain adjusts over time to the process.

Excellent app when paired with calibre and instapaper. With calibre you can format any ebook to work with quickreader… and with instapaper you can transfer over articles or webpages that you were reading.Overall great app!!

Ohhh, sooo close!!!

by Feefer2, United States, May 4, 2013

So with Stanza seemingly out of the picture, many users have been scrambling to find a suitable replacement. I was all set to buy MegaReader until I realized I already bought QuickReader, which is basically the same code (although QuickReader offers the timing functionality to help improve speed-reading; I don't use it for that, but as a pure reader). It's a really nice reader, but my two wishes to make this a 5-star app are: 1) ability to disable the iPhone status bar at the top of the screen. As stated by others, it's presence is very distracting, esp. when using a layout designed for night reading (eg blue text on black background). Besides, all that screen real estate can and should be put to better use by displaying text! Ideally the button to turn iPhone status should toggle (on/off), and it would be great to offer this as an option assignable to a zone of the screen (exactly the way HUD and rotation lock function). Users then could easily pull that info up, as desired by tapping the screen (eg to check time, etc), without digging through a bunch of menus. 2) integration with Apple's on board dictionary functionality (API). One feature I miss from Stanza is the ability to easily look up definitions for words in a book without needing to open another app.

Excelente app me gusto mucho

Really good ebook app!

by Rozzwellian, United Kingdom, April 28, 2013

Love the fact that its so customisable; able to adjust margins etc. Only downside is the inability to highlight words. So it's not possible to define unknown words, quote interesting text etc. if it had this feature it'd be a five star app.

Works great

by Stefanos Gatdoulos, United States, April 28, 2013

The tools and functions in this app are par excellent. However, we can only practice speed reading on public domain books. How about speed reading our own documents and digital books? 2 suggestions: 1) Needs a feature that enables users to import & read their own PDFs/Docs. 2)Needs a feature that enables users to import books from their Kindle library or iBooks library

I enjoy this app a lot. Thank you!

Fantastic

by Fred11151, United States, April 17, 2013

This app is a great speed reading trainer. As a bonus you're improving your reading speed while reading some of the greatest books, including Sherlock Holmes, Mark Twain, Dickens, Tolstoy, and on and on. Thank you.

Quickreader App

by Schavez3, Mexico, April 14, 2013

Excellent App

A very good tool

by hafner24, Switzerland, April 12, 2013

Many people have problems of concentration in reading. This tool is very good, it helps to read systematically. Thank you very much!

works great!

by teacher u, United States, April 10, 2013

using it for about a few weeks. works great would be nice if it could sink w mobi. great for training and improving reading speed!

It's great, works good just wish I could view the books I purchased directly from ibooks being I don't have a windows or a Mac its pretty much impossible because I haven't found any book reader that can which is frustrating but I guess that's probably apple's crime there.

This app does what it says it will do and does it well. The app is not a "hog" either. (That is _very_ important!) I rarely give 5 stars on my first review because I'm usually an early adopter and so there's usually areas that need to improved. For this app, it would be nice to have some control of the starting point of a read- especially if I want to change reading speeds "midstream".

Fantastic, want to use it for everything I read.

by juliodaspartman, United Kingdom, March 29, 2013

I only wish this could work as a plugin for kindle and iBook because I find it extremely useful and flexible. Highly recommended for anybody for whom reading is a part of their job.

Algunos detalles como todo pero es una app excelente

Great work so far. Would love to make notes

by Mitochon, Australia, March 28, 2013

Really like the continuing support. App itself is a great idea an great execution. Would love to make notes that can be exported. (PDF potentially?)

Make it more organized

by Hitch62, United States, March 26, 2013

Love the app but it needs the option of organizing your books into custom groups! If this was on there it would definitely get 5 stars in my review!!!

I really love this app. It also allows you to download ePub books from some online sites. It's just been freezing on me lately.

very nice

by mergengeldi A, United States, March 22, 2013

very nice indeed

Great App

by Trilinguist, United States, March 20, 2013

This app has been very helpful. The way I use it is by practicing from time to time with the speed reading, testing every once in a while, and reading normally when I just need a rest. What I've found is that after using the speed reading modes for some practice, even my leisurely reading is more efficient. Using the app trained me to automatically scan for the most important words – I was skeptical before but now I'm a true convert. And there are a lot of other ways to learn to speed read, but I've never used, or even seen, anything as convenient as this. I now save all classics I want to read for this app instead of kindle. Oh, right, it also allows amazing customization of colors and all the speed reading tool. Honestly, it blows kindle out of the water. I wish I knew how to read modern ebooks on it, but regardless, I'm very happy.

Great App

by Andrew_fhf, United States, March 19, 2013

Only used this for a day but it is really easy to use and has access to hundreds of classic titles.

Speed Reader

by Herkemeier, United States, March 16, 2013

I use Speed Reader on an iPad as one of my main apps. It works very well with ePub format. Some books I use for speed reading and some books like travel books I use for for finding information. The features are excellent for both types of reading. It is an excellent product that I have used for at least a year.

Great App!

by Undergrad1785, United States, March 15, 2013

This app is amazing! I do wish you could buy newer books or subscribe to magazine or news publications.

Bella e utile

by Sara-n-dippidy, United States, March 9, 2013

Have tried other readers and I think this is my favorite one.

My favorite reading app

by Andyroo2000, United States, March 8, 2013

I've tried many reading apps on iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire and a rooted Kindle Fire running Jelly Bean. Since I downloaded this app, I never open any of my other reading apps. It is the most customizable ereader, even aside from the guided reading function. There is nothing unnecessary, and every time I find myself wishing that I could tweak something, it's always possible. This app was clearly designed by someone who reads a lot of ebooks. As for getting books into the app, I just strip the DRM and easily import into Quick Reader. I love it when an app developer knows how to focus on what's important.

I think quick reader should be able to download paper back books, and old classics from various artist, , it would be great if it had flip board option on it, not sure how it work, but its like merging too apps , and finally , make it a social network program, people should be able to share books they read and talk about it.

Awesome

by Former Jack's Mannequin Fan, United States, March 4, 2013

Reading what I want and faster than ever. Amazing!

Good job!!

by Black404, United States, March 4, 2013

It took a few minutes to figure things out, then I was reading MY CHOICE of things quickly.

Need search, bookmark and percentage display

by gyeung, United States, February 25, 2013

Great ebook reader. It would be nice to have search and bookmark function. Display of percentage read in the center panel instead of the slider, because every time I touch it, it shifts position. If it has these, it would be a great replacement for Stanza

I love this app. It helps me read much faster. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is lack of Dropbox and/or Google Drive integration. Being able to adjust the Calibre timeout would rock as well.

Great app

by uaku, United States, February 1, 2013

Worth every penny

Excellent Followup to the Acceleread App

by md11foggy, United States, February 1, 2013

This is truly an outstanding App. I started learning to speed read with Acceleread App which is also an excellent app. However being an extremely poor reader, while Acceleread helped me improve both my speed and comprehension with its scientific approach to speed reading over a three month period, the Quick Reader App is helping me to better transition from the App to being able to read traditional hard copies of text books with the same speed and comprehension. Both apps are awesome. I have gone from vocalizing 200 wpm to reading 660 wpm and still tapping the right edge of the screen to speed up the reading rate. In closing, both apps are awesome. But, you can't find a better selection of reading material to read than that that is available on QuickReader. Awesome App. Thank You.

Awesome App

by Nlbhoy, United Kingdom, January 28, 2013

This is a great little app that has helped me double my reading speed in the last few weeks. Only negative would be the lack of copying text and highlighting of text.

I wish there was an option to import other ebooks, from kindle and such a really big pain to copy text them import it using a text board. I am only rating this not a five so maybe someone will look at my suggestion. But I love this app!! My absolute favorite. It helps me finish my reading in a specific time period. Great for school;)

Excelente App

Great app!

by 20Phoenix02, United States, January 14, 2013

I really like this app. It's very easy to use and is reliable. I would suggest an easy way to load books from my iBooks library as a future improvement.

I've been reading word by word all my life and was skeptic but curious. I tried it, and it did help me read several words at a time, it's amazing how faster you can read this way. Credit should be given to the developers because this way of reading is bound to become a standard feature in all ebook reading programs.

It really helps me read faster. I read really really slow. I did the test and it clocked me at 180. That's because I have a bad habit to read and reread. This app really helps me avoid that, helps me read in groups of words, and improves my speed. I'm reading at a modest 230 now, which isn't really something to brag about compared to the other reviews but I'm improving and honest about it. I look to challenge myself on every now book I read. I'm still on the first one but results look promising.

…but is spot on in helping to change bad reading habits improving one's ability to read in chunks. Love being able to save my own epubs into it or simply downloading from the vast online ebook repositories.

Muy practico

by Mecánicos, Colombia, January 1, 2013

Es fácil de manejar en mi i-phone

Zooooooommmmmm

by Birdhouse Spy Cam, United States, January 1, 2013

So many books to read, and so little time. I've been so frustrated as I enjoy reading, and there are so many books I want to read, but I'm so terribly slow!!! Was taking me a MONTH or so to get through a modest sized book. App is very impressive because it gives you so many options — colors, font size, means of highlighting words, grouping of words, margins, and of course speed — so you can customize it to fit your particular reading needs. In only three days I've gone from 275 to over 500 wpm. I have no illusions that's a permanent speed in such a short time, but the app is so much fun to play with, and the library is so extensive, I'm confident I'm going to hit 700+ and will have trained myself to where I will maintain that speed in the years to come!

Love it

by BlackAce34, Canada, December 29, 2012

Great app improving reading speed and enjoying your ebooks. I especially enjoy seeing how long it will take to read a book at a certain wpm; it's like having a movie "run time" but for your books.

Fantastic job!

by Joe Green, United States, December 29, 2012

Wish I had this app when I was in college! Has opened up a whole new world of reading and skill development.

Lots of functionality

by Pudlglum, United States, December 29, 2012

This App has a lot of functionality as a reader.

Good app but has an annoying author naming bug

by Dissapointed User 000, United Kingdom, December 26, 2012

I use Calibre and import books into Quickreader via iTunes and no matter which order I have Firstname or Secondname in within Calibre, some books are entered into Quickreader under Firstname rather than Secondname, this resulting in a single author having more than one catalogue. Also needs to better know where chapters start and end because it currently and commonly flows one direct into the next without space between. Nonetheless, this is a very good app.

The best

by dualcosmos, South Korea, December 25, 2012

I've tried a lot of reader apps, and this is absolutely the best. At last, I can control every detail of the display.

One of the marks of a great app is simplicity within comprehensiveness. You will be able to use this app within a few minutes and be able to start training shortly thereafter. The ability to download public domain books easily is wonderful. Being able to paste text into the app allows you to use the interface to read work materials is great. Well worth it!

Great. Speed reading app!

I liked the site,lots of interesting categories

Very efficient

by EETorpedo, United States, November 20, 2012

This app is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It is pushing my reading speeds higher and higher in a very engaging and fun way. If you want to read faster you have to push yourself. If you're ready to do that then this is the program to get. I recommend it, is a very very good investment. Well done.

Super great app!

by Mbunge, United States, November 18, 2012

I didn't think I'd actually find such a great speed-reading app – but am extremely glad I did. Now to keep practicing!

Sno

by T B Schnoebelen, United States, November 16, 2012

A reading assistant unmatched. I like being able to copy any article from the iPad, and buzz through it with hardly the reading energy and concentration it would take without the use of the App. Top 3 on the favorites list. TRY IT!!!

I really enjoy this app, it helps me stay focused, read more and it is improving my reading speed!

Great app

by Waltnyc, United States, November 10, 2012

Helps very much with speed reading. Incredibly unique and well done app. The downside is that it does the speed reading thing so well that it seems to lack or make difficult other more basic features of an e-reader. I could not figure out how to search within text, for instance, or copy text to paste to another app. I find myself having to switch back and forth between iBooks and this app for the simple stuff. That being said, the speed reading features are incredibly useful and I am very happy with this reader.

Really helps u read faster & more relaxed

by Southbeachdesign, United States, November 9, 2012

I like the adjustable speed, rate etc & bookmarking where I last left off

If you're looking for an app that trains your speed-reading AND integrates all the great free literature out there, this is it. Scifi, fantasy, romance, mystery, it's all there. You might not even need to buy novels for a while. But what this can't do yet (because I know the author is very responsive to feedback) is read PDF files of your own choosing. This is due to the text-unfriendly format of PDFs anyway. For PDFs, I suggest using online converters, saving it as a DOC and pasteboarding REASONABLE chunks of text (like 0.5 – 1 chapter or so). You might not like this, but there is no other app I know off that can do this. Oh, and the speed-reading technique here is legit. I know because I attended a $200 speedreading course before buying this app. The app is highly worth it's value.

Outstanding

by NY_Jim, United States, November 5, 2012

Just a terrific app! Very flexible and feature rich. Can use for pleasure reading or to work on speeds. One of just a handful that make the tablet experience lastingly worthwhile for me. Truly a killer app.

An excellent app save one feature: some of the paste boards end up formatted poorly, which makes them less easy to read. Other than that, the app is very useful.

Top App

by Kingshen, United States, October 26, 2012

I have actually become a faster reader through using this app. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their reading speed. It works!

Great app

by Snewzr, United States, October 25, 2012

I bought this to practice speed reading, and it does a great job at that. But then i got lazy and now use it as a library of public domain works – classics, indie authors and even some well-known modern authors who have made their works accessible. I only wish there were a better way to search the book databases. But combine this vast book access with the ability to increase your reading speed, and you have enough challenge to last you for life!

This gave me full access to my calibre library from my Linux desktop. Also love the ability to open calibre docs in other apps through quick's interface.

Excellent

by Jeffrey Naifeh, United States, October 21, 2012

Worth every dollar. You will read faster, like downloading text into your brain. You'll remember what you read and have bypassed those lapses in concentration that occur while normally reading; but at the expense of thoughtfulness. This is not a negative, but a tradeoff of reading quickly: you'll have to make time to consider what you've read. The integrated access to +++free books struck me as a great attention to detail, and has done me a kindness. Buy it if you'll use it. Or if you read at all and are willing to experiment. I use this app primarily with the pasteboard to copy text in from other programs. Just this functionality justifies this program's use to me.

I use this in conjunction with ReadingTrainer. The exercises plus the practice really work. My one complaint is that I was under the impression, based upon their advertisement, that I would be able to uses it with my iBooks. Upon closer inspection (after I bought it), I realized I can use it with public domain books that double as iBooks, but nothing current. Those were "weasel words." Still, the app is great for what it does.

Import books from iBook

by Structure65, Canada, October 15, 2012

Hi This is a great App. It helps a lot with reading speed, I have one thing to share with you. I can't import books from iBooks into the Quickreader Any suggestion. Thanks Fox65

Perfect

by NathsiPad, Canada, October 15, 2012

Since my favorite reading app no longer works, I have found this to be the perfect replacement and has improved my speed reading skills at the same time….so many books, so little time!

Very good aid for reading. It would be helpful if dictionary option include in next update. Writing review should be more simple for example, "nickname" entry is irritating. So many nick name were tried it seems, that all the nick names are taken !!!! It became very difficult to submit the review . Kindly make it simple to submit.iThanks and regards Ansar

Great value for the money

by GreedyPete, United Kingdom, October 6, 2012

Having learnt some speed reading techniques some years ago, but neglected them a bit recently, this is a great app for truly automating the process. Just sit back and read, you don't need to press anything. It's also useful to know the time remaining to the end of the chapter and book. A good selection of titles are installed with the app.

This is a great app that is very helpful in increasing reading speed. I just wish I could use it with all my Kindle books. Thanks.

Ottimo

Leggere e-book con quest'applicazione è veramente piacevole.

by Zayén, Chile, October 3, 2012

Muy buena,pero sería mejor si viniera con algún traductor :).

Great app!

by Nuiicdrd, United States, October 3, 2012

One major downside though, no dictionary look up tools within the app!! Why??! A dictionary look up tool would really complete this app, PLEASE IMPLEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'd give it 5 stars if there were a look up tool)

Great app., but…

by Vbits, Mexico, October 2, 2012

Would like to see dictionary integration and one word on screen reading capability like in acereader for pc. I know that is another software but something that mimics this feature for productivity reading would make your app rock totally out of this world.

by Mickewm, Mexico, October 2, 2012

Excelente aplicación!!!

Very good

by humap, United States, October 2, 2012

Very good! QR has many interface options for comfortable reading. I would ask for a way to select text in the application (e.g. You speed read, come across an important passage in the text and want to copy it). PDF support would also be nice. Otherwise, probably the best for casual ePub speed reading…

Really one of the best ereaders I've found, lets u download from many other FREE book sites if u like reading independent authors, I'd recommend it.

This is pretty cool, only one request…

by Brodiecj, United States, September 30, 2012

I like this app but I wish they had comprehension tests connected with each text. I feel my speed is increasing, but I worry my comprehension of the material is not as strong. Therefore comprehension tests would solve that easily.

Program works great, my reading speed hasn't improved much… But that's more from lack of use.

Only 1 complaint

by rwhite1240, United States, September 29, 2012

When I have not read anything and a book for a week, I have to search for that book! That is if I can remember it's name. While continuing to read the book it's excellent. I'll like it's capability to view different fonts, different font colors and backgrounds. I prefer it over any of the other readers I have tried.

I have been using this app only for a day and already my reading speed has increased. Also,It's training my eyes to move across the page without stoping to become fixated on a single word.Not to mention the plethora of reading material from hundreds of topics. I love it!! This app is my new best friend.

Really useful app must have if you like to read and don't have much time to! Helps learn to speed read

The Better Me

by Jeffrey Shear, United States, September 14, 2012

There are several kinds of reading for me: pleasure, informative, curious: etc. most often, I read for speed, and I need to be pushed. That's because I'm a writer, a knowledge worker dependent on research (read: READING). Word consumption is my job. In my line of work QuickReader kills. In a world where production is everything, the app makes me more efficient, and it's also kinda fun.

Buenísima app.

Brilliant app

by Mark Walker, United Kingdom, September 13, 2012

I find This app is great for reading in an iPod screen, not having to touch the screen every page like in a standard reader makes things a lot easier. This app is also speeding up my reading and I enjoy knowing exactly how much time it will take me to finish reading.

Excellent

by Micheritos, United States, September 13, 2012

I love to use this system because it's easy and effective…..my improvement has been fabulous

Would like to see dictionary integration and one word on screen reading capability like in acereader for pc. I know that is another software but something that mimics this feature for productivity reading would make your app rock totally out of this world.

It's useful and really does work but the joltiness of the moving marker can get irritating. If it would glide smoothly instead, then that would make for much more natural reading.

Brilliant!!

by @Sipza123, South Africa, September 6, 2012

Since I started attempts at improving my reading speed, this is the ultimate. It's the total package. I did not give it full marks as I am not aware if the software works on other platforms like ebook readers. An app like this has to be universalized. Great stuff. Absolutely flawless. Intuitive, almost requires no user manual or training.

Great app. I love a pre set of books and ability to download new books as well. Over time I did notice that my reading speed improved significantly. One suggestion I'd like to make is to add an option to read flashing words (with a set number of words) as opposed to reading highlighted text on the whole page.

Very well designed app for reading However, it doesn't work with traditional chinese words in clipboard reading. I am sure this app will be much better, if it could support traditional chinese words.

Excellent app, please add the flash speed reading method where single words or phrases flash on screen quickly to read.

This is a good app for speed reading and normal reading.

Other wise this is a great and cheap speed reading app I would recommend this to anyone who wants to increase there speed in reading. Xtk1

I am a history major and I need to read a ton of texts, but this app has still managed to improve my reading. My two favorite things are: 1)I don't have to turn turn the page; it is like watching a movie. 2) instead of rereading things I don't understand this app makes me untangle as I go, thus working on my comprehension in pace with my desired rate. I definitely recommend it.

Excellent app

by Likesonewordalot, United States, August 19, 2012

My reading skills have greatly improved after just a month of using this app. Love the large variety of customizable options, and the huge selection of texts. This app is without a doubt worth $5. It would be nice to be able to use this app with various other texts, rather than having to copy and paste text into this application. Minor issue though.

Favorite again!

by John.Zollinger, United States, August 18, 2012

I used this app all the time many months ago. I had so many great things I wanted to read, that I ended up loading so many books that it would crash on me. They took care of that issue (thank you!) and added more features!!! Yea! It is back on top as my favorite app! Thank you!

The Better Me

by Jeffrey Shear, United States, August 17, 2012

There are several kinds of reading for me: pleasure, informative, curious: etc. most often, I read for speed, and I need to pushed. I'm a writer. Word consumption is my job. QuickReader kills. In a world where production is everything, the app makes me more efficient. ah, and it's kinda fun.

Suggestion

by Svied, United States, August 16, 2012

I realy like this app as well and I know for a fact that it uses one of the main techniques that are found in reading classes and programs the world over. However, one thing it doesn't have that I think it needs is a que of the books you've been reading in order of frequency or chronology. Thank You for reading my reveiw.

I'm a second year medical student. This app has cut my study time in half and drastically improved my grades and comprehension through repetition. To other students, use calibre and/or sigil to convert your PDF and or docx notes to ePub format.

Within the limits of a mobile screen, it is a pretty handy app. I would recommend this.

Five stars for me now that there is (finally!) an option to hide the iPhone status bar. No more distraction from the white font in the status bar when reading at night. The upgrade went smoothly, kept my place in books I was reading. I tried going back to Stanza but really like MegaReader so quickly switched back.

Quickreader

by GrandMasterK3000, United States, August 10, 2012

I'm really glad I downloaded this app. I've tried learning speed reading before from books, but have always given up on it. First off, calculating how many words per minute you're reading is really tedious and annoying. Second, in order to increase your speed, you have to do drills where you read faster than you can comprehend. This has always felt like a waste of time to me. With this app, you just set it for how many words you want to read per minute and follow the cursor with your eyes. That's it. You're speed reading. Plus it comes with plenty of classic books to read and more to download. I feel like a sucker, because I paid ten bucks last month to get The Great Gastby on my kindle. Turns out its one of the free books on this app.

Good source of free books

by Squeakusmaximus, Singapore, August 9, 2012

If you're looking for an app that trains your speed-reading AND integrates all the great free literature out there, this is it. Scifi, fantasy, romance, mystery, it's all there. You might not even need to buy novels for a while. But what this can't do yet (because I know the author is very responsive to feedback) is read PDF files of your own choosing. This is due to the text-unfriendly format of PDFs anyway. For PDFs, I suggest using online converters, saving it as a DOC and pasteboarding REASONABLE chunks of text (like 0.5 – 1 chapter or so). You might not like this, but there is no other app I know off that can do this. Oh, and the speed-reading technique here is legit. I know because I attended a $200 speedreading course before buying this app. The app is highly worth it's value.

Great way to read!

by Jersey Grandpa, United States, June 19, 2012

Added June 20,2012 I am now using QuickReader with my new Apple TV and AirPlay to read books and material from the Pasteboard on my TV while I exercise. The Speed Reader feature means I don't have to turn the pages. **** So far, I have been using the pasteboard feature. It's very easy to get material into it and then save it for later. The integration with Instapaper is nice. I'm definitely reading faster in the app itself, and hope that with enough practice it will carry over to other reading – both electronically and with paper. I remember Evelyn Wood devices from a long time ago and have always wanted to try speed reading again. I'm very happy to have this app.

Love this app

I would love to be able to use this product while researching a topic as well as creating separate files comprised of those findings.

Great app!

by Mreslight, United States, June 12, 2012

This app can be paired with Calibre on the PC so you can access epubs from your library wirelessly. Lots of customization options and an intuitive interface make it a better than any other speed reading software I have used.

I love this app

by RTonline, United States, May 25, 2012

Great app. Pros: I've tried desktop programs before and found it hard to make the time on a regular basis to sit down and practice. With this app I pull it up whenever I have a few minutes to spare and I can practice 3-4 times a day. Cons: The app needs to be able for user to import eBooks. The library that's included is large if you want to read a variety of public domain classics, but this could be so much better being able to buy third party eBooks and import them. Feature request: Needs ability to specify number of words at a time as an alternative to number of chunks per line. All in all, none of these issues would keep me from buying this app again. Just a personal tip: reading with iPhone held horizontally makes it much easier to read.

This is a great app!

ereader and speed training

by Scotty Meek, United Kingdom, May 11, 2012

The speed reading aspect promises well and I hope to move above average speed with its help. The flexible settings for normal reading make it a very agreeable ereader. I have not found how to use the iPad dictionary with it – perhaps it does not offer that facility. Plenty of free ebooks are available and easy to find with the search facility. Well worth the price of the app.

I usually don't waste time writing reviews, but this app is just the best bang for your buck. I started reading 226 WPM which is way low and after a month of maybe 20 to 30 minutes a day I'm reading comfortably at 625 WPM which is incredible. My goal is get to 1000 WPM in less than 6 months. I just love this app and the customizations tools make reading incredibly comfortable and easy. Just load your favorite novels (you don't have to read the ones included) and with a little discipline you'll be reading 5 books a week with no problems.

Great for improving your reading speed

by interested individual, United Kingdom, April 30, 2012

Using this app for a couple of weeks has doubled my reading speed! There are a couple of things which I would like to see it able to do though. Column width should be more flexible allowing space to be wasted on screen so that you can set an arbitrary width. This would enable a gradual increase to help improve focus width. Some way to add highlights in the book so that you can jump back to where you found interesting quote.

Easy to use and I find myself reading all the time at doctors visits or anytime I am waiting for an appointment.

Changed My Life

by the_doob, United States, April 28, 2012

Not only do I now read faster, I now read with more comprehension. I just wish it had Readability integration (both for your reading list and for putting in a URL and getting plain text). Buy it!!!

2 thumbs up

by Sion24, United States, April 27, 2012

Fantastic app!

by Scrumdillicious, Canada, April 23, 2012

This app is awesome! I only have two suggestions: it would be so much better if the e-books available had summaries so that u can read the blurb n decide which book u want to read. It would also be nice if u had instructions on how to get the best result from this program on the app. ie) what speed to start at, wether or not u need to focus on just the words n get comprehension later, etc. … Other than that, it's fantastic!!!

This app does what it claims. I found the ui easy to use and it works. Now if I were only disciplined enough to keep using it!

by Readingfaster35, United States, April 13, 2012

App works very well and I use it often.

A worthy successor to stanza

by marfarma, United States, April 10, 2012

I'm completely happy with this purchase. The recent upgrade make me confident that the rest of the missing features will be added in due time.

Very good trainer

by Leovonp, Germany, April 9, 2012

Using this together with other reading enhancement apps and it is the perfect complement. If it would add a "power reading" one line only version with constant refresh it would be perfect.

Speed read, format trouble

by Oooooo eeee, United States, April 7, 2012

The app is great, sometimes when converting books to ePub, the formatting gets weird and hard to read. Idk if they have straight reading from PDF yet, but overall, this is the most used app on my iPad. On top of that, I read so much faster. Totally worth the $15 or whatever it is. Plus most ebooks r free.

A great book reader app

by Lancinator13, Canada, April 6, 2012

I finally gave up on Bookshelf after recent updates trashed it. This app works flawlessly with every book I've tried so far, and the Feedbooks downloads were fast and easy. The flaw I encountered was a total inability to log onto Baen books and download stuff I've paid for. Aside from that one problem, the app is slick, and very well executed, and the speed reading concept works surprisingly well. Highly recommended!

It gives you so many options of books to read, and even let's you change settings like background, font size, and font color. I suggest getting it, especially if you have an iPad.

My favorite reader

by SheynaDad, United States, April 6, 2012

It's the easiest to use with the most functionality of any of my text and PDF readers.

Very efficient

by EETorpedo, United States, April 5, 2012

This app is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It is pushing my reading speeds higher and higher in a very engaging and fun way. If you want to read faster you have to push yourself. If you're ready to do that then this is the program to get. I recommend it, is a very very good investment. Well done.

My Best Reader App

by Zanclod, United States, April 4, 2012

Very good app. You can set the font in size and style to suit your preferences. Missing is a search function. You have to scroll through the whole list to get to the author or title. Also you should be able to edit the author's name because many a time the names are spelled two or more different ways. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

iBook transfer

by DaveZ44, United States, April 4, 2012

Love this app! But I can't figure out how to transfer books from iBooks through the iTunes file share. I thought the recent updates allowed this. Is there a way to get support to help explain?

great, many uses

by jxdxbx, United States, April 3, 2012

I would use this app more if it could access content stored in iBooks. I stick with iBooks for the iPhone to iPad syncing.

Good reader app, needs a dictionary

by mike-gr, United States, April 2, 2012

This app is close to perfect. It needs a dictionary, bookmarking, highlighting, and copy functionality. The speed reading capability is excellent.

Great app!

by Lesbrarian, United States, April 2, 2012

Love this app. It's fantastic for reading all the classics I've been trying to find time for. I do wish it was easier to read articles online, though.

Really a great app. Only thing better would be to get more books, compatibility with kindle or nook accounts.

Thanks, for the Awesome Update

by Jptufts, United States, March 31, 2012

Wow! You guys are really listening. Thank you so much for the update. Also ability to add our own books is really helpful. If you want to improve one's reading ability or just like to read this is the APP for you. ^___^ Thank you

For someone like me w a reading problem it's the best

by lukethedrifter1, United States, March 26, 2012

Helps me focus in reading that's never been possible before. Would have given it 5 stars but the program lacks the following basic functions Highlighting text Dictionary access Please put these features in updates. But bravo for what you've accomplished so far

I really like the way in which the application allows me to configure the settings for my own requirements. The ability to change font sizes, margins, # of highlighted words, highlighting style, and speed are great. For my purposes, plenty of books are available that interest me. I do wish the instructions provided better guidance on how to maximize the benefits in the shortest time. Well worth the $4.99.

Next frontier: drm ebooks

by Gs4242, United States, March 16, 2012

Love. I have some mild, funky eye muscle dysfunction that makes reading conventional text formats really taxing. My eyes jump around the text, dont focus easily. To try to build strength and good habits, I've been using quick reader every day to read an article or two that I've saved to instapaper. It is SO much easier for me to focus my eyes and track text using Quickreader, I wish I could use it on every web page and ebook. The instapaper integration especially is excellent. The only reason I can't give the app five stars is that I get frustrated I can't use it MORE. I wish I could use it on PDFs, and especially on Apple or Kindle ebooks. Wonderful!

It's a good alternative to iBooks

by Colin Crossman, United States, March 15, 2012

It's a good alternative to iBooks, and love the speed reader functions. The time to completion is nice too.

Exceptional app

by Sudoko-yoko-, United States, March 14, 2012

Used everyday to read essential on Internet and often to read books. Flexible settings and remembering last page read is great, but being able to stop reading and back up is super too. An essential to my reading

Worth your money

by Canahmetcaner, United States, March 14, 2012

Very nice to use.if u want to read fast you can get it

Great app

by Therealrico, United States, March 13, 2012

On the toilet so don't feel like elaborating

Excellent

by Jeffrey Naifeh, United States, March 10, 2012

Worth every dollar. You will read faster, like downloading text into your brain. You'll remember what you read and have bypassed those lapses in concentration that occur while normally reading; but at the expense of thoughtfulness. This is not a negative, but a tradeoff of reading quickly: you'll have to make time to consider what you've read. I use this app almost exclusively with the pasteboard to copy text in from other programs. Just this functionality justifies this program's use to me.

Really nice app

by Mister jbq, United States, March 10, 2012

I thought my reading speed was established and could not really be changed. I tried to improve it last summer using "triple your reading speed". This did not stick because it, initially at least, focused more on just seeing more of the page. The book would present a bunch of letters and you were supposed to try to see and identify as many of them as possible without moving your eyes. This method probably works. But you'd have to be pretty committed to practice on something so abstract. Quickreader, on the other hand, actually lets you read books. It comes preloaded with a nice collection of classics and some stuff I was surprised to see, like some Kurt Vonnagut and the Bhagavad Gita. There's 3 volumes of Pablo coehlo. So, whatever you're into you can find something of interest, right out of the box. However, things really get interesting when you load your own books. A trio of apps makes this not just an app to teach you how to speed read, but actually encourages you to read books you wanted to read anyway, but at a much faster pace. What I have set up is calibre on my pc, so I can convert any ebooks to ePub, the format required for the reader. Then I drag and drop my epubs to Dropbox (essential app for iPad) and then tell Dropbox to open my epubs using quick reader. So here's my experience so far. When I started, I used the default speed of 300 wpm. After 2 days I am up to 460, and probably could go faster, and will tomorrow. I find I am motivated to practice especially since I am reading my books of choice and not random letters ala triple your reading speed. One thing I think I should mention is how different reading faster is from my regular reading. I thought I would have trouble with comprehension reading faster, but I have noticed that the way this app works, you really stay more engaged because the process is more active. It's also easier and more natural to stay with a book for a shorter period of time, given our species' limits to sustained attention.

by Longshot9873, United States, March 8, 2012

Easy to customize but I would like it better if I could add in my own books from iBooks.

Tip top

by elliekobi, United Kingdom, March 5, 2012

Great app it is very thorough and complete with plenty of books available although I have one issue..when I quit reading a book I cant see a way of returning to it next time like a bookmark?

Great but note taking feature would be nice

by Great app for the gre, United States, March 5, 2012

Amazing app for training, but a note-taking feature would be better for practical uses too.

Treadmill page-turner

by AppityApp, United States, March 2, 2012

Great App for the gym. Just blow the font up and put it on the elliptical bookrest for hands-free page-turning. Makes the workout fly by.

upgrade crashes every time it tries to load the menu of book.

by LTWOLFF, United States, March 2, 2012

good idea. but broken.

Excellent

by Pa18a150, France, March 1, 2012

A good book reader even without the speed reading. I tend to use it plain vanilla unless there is something I have to read for work that I would't normally choose, then savour the books I enjoy at my own pace. Well worth getting. Je vois que c'est aussi disponible en francais. Ca vaut le coup, marche tt bien en anglais, doit etre aussi efficace en francais. A recommander

Great program!

by Prospero Books, United States, March 1, 2012

I love this program, whether to speed up your reading or just used as a normal electronic book reader. Thanks to all the programmers.

Great app

by Drolenc, United States, February 29, 2012

This is my preferred ereader. I like that it is easy on the eyes and easy to use. Thanks!

Nice

by Myxyptlk, United States, February 29, 2012

Great for reading ePub format books. It would be better if you could search for book titles in your library. I would also love to have a text to speech option. It should have a reverse foreground and background color feature so you could have white text over a black background. I'm glad you can now import books in iTunes.

Simply amazing…

by Wendy Wong, Canada, February 28, 2012

5/5 (stars); " I never have, nor did I ever think I would ever, go outta my way to, write one of these (reviews), but I had to! It's just that good of an app;)

Perfect!

by Octothorp88, United States, February 28, 2012

Works perfectly, thanks! I don't want to read in any other app! Love it!!!!

So with Stanza seemingly out of the picture, many users have been scrambling to find a suitable replacement. I was set to buy MegaReader until I realized QuickReader is basically the same code (although QuickReader obviously offers the timing functionality to help improve speed-reading; I don't use it for that, but as a reader). It's a really nice reader, but my two wishes to make this a 5-star app are: 1) ability to disable the iPhone status bar at the top of the screen. As stated by others, it's presence is very distracting, esp. when using a layout designed for night reading (eg blue text on black background). Besides, all that screen real estate can and should be put to better use by displaying text! Ideally the button to turn iPhone status should toggle (on/off), and it would be great to offer this as an option assignable to a zone of the screen (exactly the way HUD and rotation lock function). Users then could easily pull that info up, as desired by tapping the screen (eg to check time, etc), without digging through a bunch of menus. 2) integration with Apple's on board dictionary functionality (API). One feature I miss from Stanza is the ability to easily look up definitions for words in a book without needing to open another app.

Outstanding

by Seb Miller, United Kingdom, February 21, 2012

by viper_najem, United Arab Emirates, February 19, 2012

Features requested: – Dictionary – Bookmarking – Highlighting If the application had the same features of iBooks it would be 5 stars all the way. Please update! Thanks.

Here's something I've been looking for a long time

by Teratzul, Spain, February 18, 2012

This app really teaches you what fast-reading programs teach you without making you look retarded on the subway using speed reading tools(ie. A pointer).

One month user

by Avidreader7, United States, February 17, 2012

I like the app, I find it imports easily. It lacks a dictionary and a copy function so I have to exit out to eReader and type in the word into my M-W dictionary.

Great

by Momehemian, United States, February 16, 2012

I wish there was an option to import other ebooks, from kindle and such a really big pain to copy text them import it using a text board. I am only rating this not a five so maybe someone will look at my suggestion. But I love this app!! My absolute favorite. It helps me finish my reading in a specific time period. Great for school;)

Love this app

by NinjaApper, United States, February 15, 2012

I use it to access my calibre library. But it is pretty cool to see how fast I read.

Really helpful

by MARVIN WEST, United States, February 15, 2012

This app while limited in the importation of book titles, no kindle or iBooks integration, is really a joy for improving your speed reading. I import from instapaper which is linked to Zite and other feeds. I recommend this app for reading articles in a timely manner. Kindle or iBooks should scoop up this apps functionality in their application.

This app helped me to up my reading speed from 350 to 1100 in less than 2 months. It has a large library for the price and access to Project Gutenberg's database, allowing free downloads of thousands of classics ranging from Plato to Twain all for free. This app is excellent for improving reading speed and provides a plethora of available books at no additional cost, making it a viable alternative for a library. This app is truly deserving of 5 stars!

Best reading app I've used…

by Gordon bennett III, United Kingdom, February 12, 2012

… and I've been through a few. Really diverse and wide selection of books and the "speed reading" functions are brilliant.

Great reader and awesome speed reader trainer.

by Brother Odin, Canada, February 11, 2012

With ability to add multiple bookmarks I would give it five stars.

Great reader that is truly useful

by Ko Kuroda, Japan, February 8, 2012

I've been using this for half a year and am convinced that it enhanced me reading skills.

Doubled my reading speed!

by Deviante, Australia, February 7, 2012

I started out only been able to read at 250 words per minute, now I'm almost at 500. Amazing app, still using it, I'll have doubled my reading speed again in about a month I reckon

Perfect

Good!

by Macie Rivera, United States, February 4, 2012

I really enjoy this app. I'd really love to see a feature that quizzes you at the end of a chapter to test comprehension. I mean speed reading is one thing, but understanding what's being said is another.

So far, so good

by Trisheltie, United States, February 4, 2012

Easy to use, but too soon or me to judge impact. Comes with an incredible colloction of books, tho.

Now this is a reader app!!

by tmagNdddg, United States, February 3, 2012

This is a great reader! The speed reading option is invaluable, and the standout feature it has above the other readers. This reader could change literacy and enhance students' reading levels if it was used in education.

App Perfetta…

by Francesco Caldarone, Italy, February 2, 2012

Meglio di Stanza…

Excellent app

by Jdailey89, United States, February 2, 2012

This app does exactly what it says it will and has a fantastic assortment of literature included. Definitely worth the price

My new favorite app

by 3.Rd, United States, February 2, 2012

It's like Cydia for your brain–real deal. I read EVERYTHING thru this app, and I notice when I pick up an actual book, I blaze thru it like it's mmj. Lol. I love it! I jus wish there was an easier way to upload books to it. Then we'd be in the game..

I got this app to replace Stanza after the iOS 5 update; and I am in love!

One of the Best iPad Apps

by berzerkeleyan, United States, January 30, 2012

I use it all the time to get caught up on all the free classics. Not only am I now a better read person, but my reading speed has almost doubled. This is a truly first rate app.

Great.

by 8SHARK8, United Kingdom, January 29, 2012

I copy and paste in what I want to read and it's much better than having one or two words flashed at me.

Strong app!

by Lallatwittle, United States, January 26, 2012

Great app, helps me practice my speed reading. My biggest problem with it is that I font the guiding system too pulse like rather than flowing from one piece to the next.

Outstanding!!!

by Hatfield McCoy, United States, January 25, 2012

Users asked for the ability to import books and they listened. Completely customizable text color and backgrounds make it soft on the eyes. I used stanza until this last release. Great job!!

Great reader though add highlights

by Nick is my nickname 555, United States, January 24, 2012

I love this e reader but I read a lot of books I want to take notes for. Can you add a highlight method which saves the highlighted notes to review later

very nice

by mergengeldi A, United States, January 24, 2012

very nice indeed

Too legit to quit.

by RaynArch, United States, January 23, 2012

Using Calibre, I've been able to get any book I can think of on this app. I've also been using the paste function to read assignment texts off of websites. This app is amazingly useful.

good

by Furiosi, Italy, January 22, 2012

a pity not import pdf easily

So versatile

by Readingwithspeed, United States, January 22, 2012

I love this app. I can import all my PDF books and read them in my phone anywhere I'm at. Ready on the exercise bike at the gym is one of my favorites. Put the speed reading in and get alot of reading don while you work out. This app is a perfect companion to Calibre for the pc.

Very nice app

Really fine app

by Slow reader :(, Canada, January 20, 2012

To me, this is the best of both worlds, learning to speed read with the convenience of an iPad and the technology of a programmed learning tool.

For a good read

by Skippy_delgado, El Salvador, January 19, 2012

Quick Reader does a good job at helping you train to improve reading habits. It's highly customizable as far as speed, colors and layout, which works well. I wish there was a way to program lessons and receive reminders. After all, speed reading is like any other skill, it only works if is constantly being used. Building lessons and programming reading tasks would help those of us who have a difficult time adhering to self imposed schedule.

Fantastic book reader just got better

by Neillm, United Kingdom, January 19, 2012

I loved this reader before the update, with it's great speed reading mechanism which allows you to easily set a rate you are comfortable with. Or you can switch to normal reading with a couple of taps. Now, with the update, they've made it dead easy to import your own non-DRM books in! The only thing I would ask is for some way to be able to set the start point on a page for the speed reading highlight. If you flip the page accidentally or look at the chapter list, it starts from the top of the page each time.

Perfect for my expectations

by Kohlglass, United States, January 19, 2012

Indeed.

Awesome Update

by Rhandey, Canada, January 19, 2012

This is one of the greatest updates ever for an app I have seen in a long time. Thank you so much. You are creating a perfect product

A great and useful app

by RLF100, United States, January 19, 2012

I've always loved this app. I'll love it better when it connects to Kindle.

Great Reader!

by Tcat76843, United States, January 19, 2012

Will be five stars for me once there is an option to hide the iPhone status bar. That drives me nuts since it's always in a white font and therefore distracting when reading at night. The upgrade to 3.4 went smoothly, kept my place in books I was reading plus I really like the new capability to sort books by date last imported. Of course you can't please everyone… I was happy just being able to import a book at a time from Calibre.

Fantastic

by Jake Baruch, United States, January 18, 2012

Loving it

Wow

Great Product

by Willymad, United States, January 8, 2012

My entire family are readers with kindles and nooks, and this app let's me keep up with them on my iPhone. It really is easy to use, very customizable, and worth every penny.

Excellent app

by A businessman, Hungary, January 6, 2012

I can warmly recommend this app for reading books. Much better then ibooks because it actually teaches you to enhance your reading speed a LOT, extremely customizable in colors, fonts, etc., and includes a lot of small comfortable features like adjusting brightness with an up or down swap of your finger. I use it every single day. Kudos guys, keep up the excellent work! Perhaps you could include a better page-turning graphical effect to enhance the look and feel, and display page numbers to help the reader keep track of their progress. Five stars nevertheless!!,

Great app to speed reading up

by Psitov, Canada, January 5, 2012

Great little app – especially like the feature that lets you preset the speed and number of stops per line their highlighting tool will use and then pull up thousands of classics and public domain books up to use this with. Not only do you have easy access to all these great books, but you also have tool that increases your reading speed as you read them.

good for the price

by drSmock, United States, January 5, 2012

This app is a great tool for increasing reading speed, but do not trust those who claim you will be able to import eBooks with this program. There is no such function available, as I do not count manually copying and pasting each page of an eText as any sort of efficient method of importing. For the price, however, this program offers a very nice selection of texts, making it a worthwhile purchase.

HELP, tell me how to import other catalogs

by 35 bringthespring, Japan, January 4, 2012

他のカタログをどうやったら追加出来ますか？どなたか教えて頂けませんでしょうか？ I'm a Japanese user, I couldn't import other catalogs paid in eReader, iBooks or Stanza to QuickReader. What am I supposed to do? My operation was as follows: eReader上に購入済みの本が読みたいのですがうまく行きませんでした、操作は以下の様に行いました… main screen > normal reading > import > download more than one book > tap "edit" button > add other catalogs(tap green "+" button) > input catalog's URL, title, subtitle > tap "add" button > popped up "error occurred during catalog addition, like incorrect URL." *I tried Stanza's URL in Apple Store since I couldn't find out eReader Pro's URL as it vanished in the store. It doesn't seem to have specifics for it in QuickReader. メイン→普通の読書→インポート→複数の本をダウンロード→編集→他のカタログ追(グリーン+ボタンタップ)→カタログURL、タイトル、副題→追加ボタンタップ→「カタログに追加中エラー発生 URLが正しくないようです」となりました。※ eReaderアプリがApple Storeから消えていたので、Apple Store上のStanzaのアプリのURLを入力して追加を試してみました。QuickReader自体にはガイドがないようです。

I love it. When a Mac version?

by Cperrone, Ireland, January 3, 2012

To me is, by far, the best app for speed reading. It really trains my eyes. I so wish there was a version for Mac too.

Great app

by Jamie Collins, United States, December 31, 2011

I'd love it if it had more features like Ace Reader Pro. Bit for what it is, it's a great app.

Great App for Speed Reading

by Mikki Waid, United States, December 27, 2011

I love the ability to read books at a faster pace. Unlike some other speed reading courses, this App does not take you through exercises, rather it allows users to set their own pace for reading & guides them along. I also love the wide variety of classic books available. Also, the App layout is very nice. This is a great app! The best way to learn to speed read is to just *do it* and this app does just that!

Well done

by Matthew Moore, United States, December 27, 2011

This app is wonderful. Simply put, it trains you to read swiftly and effectively in a short period of time. Few classes can compare. Truly worth the time and money invested.

Excellent product…

by Chivazh, United Arab Emirates, December 26, 2011

I'm fully satisfied on the money spent…

Wonderfully easy…

by Zenhockey, United States, December 26, 2011

I am still shocked at how easy it is to load text from the web. One thing I would like to see- An option that flashes the chosen number of words on the screen along with the highlight option that currently exist. I would give more stars but, we all need room for improvement.

Nice app

by Edaua, Canada, December 25, 2011

This app Is really nice for the price

Rediscovered Fantastic App

by Kel Milner, United Kingdom, December 25, 2011

I purchased this app months ago and thought it was pretty good. However the free book content was not particularly interesting to me so I stopped using it. However I recently discovered Calibre an app that allows conversion of ebooks into different formats. This means I am now able to download my books from my computer into QuickReader using Calibre's content server facility. I don't know if this is a new feature or just one I had missed, but it makes this app invaluable now. I have already almost doubled my reading speed in the last two days and because I am reading books I like the interest value is unlikely to wane as in the case of similar apps. Brilliant. The only request for improvement I could make would be a way to auto ramp up your speed to a pre-set level as reading at the speed you left off at immediately having put the book down for a while can be a little difficult at first. A gradual increase to a pre-set speed would negate that. I don't review very often but thought I would offer some praise for this app as it is so darned good. Kel.

Great!

by Bankus, United States, December 25, 2011

Great app! Don't usually write reviews but I love this reader.

Great App

by Jpltwo, United States, December 22, 2011

I really like this app. With Calibre support, Instapaper support, the speed reader mode, and good formatting options this is the best ereader app yet. Suggestions for improvements: – Add a RSVP reader mode. With the font size set to maximum it is close to RSVP but not quite. – The option sliders are too sensitive. – Ability to store option presets.

One of my favorite and most used apps

by PromoRock, United States, December 22, 2011

Keeps me focused on the page and not every squirrel that runs by. Made me a better reader in general. Just wish I could load all my books.

Great product

by Justmovfwd, United States, December 21, 2011

Great product. I use it daily.

Great reading app

by Wmedi, United States, December 17, 2011

Love this app for speed reading. I'm still waiting for a great speed reading app for kindle or other protected content. Well worth it!

What a pleasure to find something so effective and well thought out. This app is fantastic. My reading has improved after only a few practice sessions and it's easy to use. Completely worth it. Thank you. (PS…Would it be possible to import your own books from kindle? That would be an amazing upgrade.)

Very Nice

by Robert Morton, United States, December 9, 2011

This is a good reader, compatible with Calibre's content server, too! The speed reading "teacher" is really nice but lacks a dictionary, which would compliment this app nicely!

Great!!

by Ricpozo, United States, December 4, 2011

This is a great app that is very helpful in increasing reading speed. I just wish I could use it with all my Kindle books. Thanks.

Excellent for anywhere & anytime R E A D I N G.

by ionutpozitiv, Canada, December 2, 2011

I use it in the metro going to the office and all the way until I land in my bed… Wherever whenever I feel like reading.

They should seriously consider incorporating this app into the schools learning system. It's great. I'm in college n it's helped me by far with my reading abilities amazingly.

Doesn't display italics

by RobertJSawyer, Canada, November 26, 2011

Terrific layout and font choices Much better screen display than almost all other ebook apps, including Kindle. But for books from the Baen Free Library and Smashwords, at least, italics are stripped out and presented as roman type. Fix this, and I'd give it five stars.

This app not only turns your iPod into an ereader but also helps improve your reading speed. I've already improved my personal speed by more than 50%. Amazing little thing and it continues to get better with each update.

Great job guys! I suggest a forum in your website to post experiences and improvements in our reading. No shame, no glory I started at 150wpm, after a week I'm at 210-220wpm reading comfortably, I want to read faster. To at least 350wpm. I'll get there for sure. Pasteboard is great! Feature request: word search and Bookmark (enhanced)

Great E-Reaser

by Melieki, Canada, November 9, 2011

The only issue I have with this e-reader is that you cannot read purchased books only the free books that is already in the library. For this reason I have to use 2 different apps. Other than that I really like it.

With Stanza not working on iOS5 I was at a loss as to what I could use with Calibre to read my books on my iPod. I was able tok find this as a decent alternative. I have been using the speed reader option to help me get faster.

I love this reader. Wish it would remember last orientation. Alway need to unlock and lock to go back to landscape orientation.

Great app!

by Nigel Bates, United Kingdom, November 2, 2011

Very easy to use, love all the free books, no complaints here…

Amazing app

by Little details, Australia, November 2, 2011

I used to love reading as a kid but that got lost a long the way from high school to university. This app is loaded with books and useful reading tools that have renewed my old passion. Well worth the buy

Good value

by Tom Gamble, Canada, November 2, 2011

Best reader i've used. Easy to navigate and good selection of books to choose from. Lots of options to fine tune your page and font. It would be nice if you could review earler chapters while keeping your bookmark in place.

Seems the best Stanza alternative

by Rich-R, United States, October 31, 2011

I agree. Now that 10.5 has killed off Stanza, QuickReader fills its void. It is a dependable reader that has all the required features plus some of its own like the speed reader training. This will now be my 'most used' app on Touch and iPad.

Love it !

by Stephan Cote, Canada, October 27, 2011

Really useful app must have if you like to read and don't have much time to!

This is a nice little app, and like it's sibling MegaReader, a decent replacement for the sadly iOS-5-defunct Stanza. However, Calibre is clunky for uploading my existing epub library (nearly 150 books), so an option to load files into MegaReader/QuickReader via iTunes would be great. Other nice Stanza features I miss: the ability to sort books by custom categories, and paragraph indentation. Thanks for being open to adding new features to MegaReader and QuickReader for all of us orphaned by the loss of Stanza.

Awesome app!

by gittipgd, South Africa, October 15, 2011

This is an app that can change ur life. It will save you so much time and at the same time making reading such a pleasure that you will not want to put a book down until its done! It takes some time to get use to it, but if you are patient with yourself it really becomes fascinating how easy can become such a light and delightful task. One does need to keep coming back to this app to keep speed reading up to speed. I would like to ask that it would be made possible to read any PDF e-books or journal articles. Since not all books are available from the forums of book downloads in quick reader, unless I missed something. Please make this function possible? I really love this app reading with it is just really a pleasure!

Very Nice

by HistoryWes, United States, October 15, 2011

Very nice app. Excellent at helping you increase your reading speed. Downloading from Feedbooks etc. This is also a passable ereader, but to truly work, it needs to allow you to side load other books. Maybe in an update?

Great App!

by George Miller, United States, October 13, 2011

Quick reader excels at what it sets out to do: enhance your reading skills by allowing you to read faster and read larger groups of text than you otherwise would. I have no complaints.

Awesome

by Joseph Chavez, United States, October 5, 2011

This app reader has helped this slow reader read faster

Good general reading app

by Lfreader, United States, September 30, 2011

I only use this app to read in bed. I'm not learning to read faster. It has adequate controls for screen displays. I do wish there were more titles, but imagine almost everyone would find this app satisfatory for format and content.

What about digital rights?

by Maximus1001, United Kingdom, September 27, 2011

Great app for free books but needs to be able access books locked with digital rights.

Great

by MiniMichiru, United States, September 26, 2011

One of the few apps I don't regret purchasing. It only took a few minutes until I upped my reading speed. After a few hours, I've doubled it. Reading this way did require more concentration on my part.

Imyownboss

by Bernsontap, Canada, September 25, 2011

Quick reader is very easy to use and I am totally impressed by it's simplicity and utter convenience. Thank you, thankyou.

Great app

by Sorrack, United States, September 25, 2011

Worth every penny

Great app to improve your speed

by Aivijay, United States, September 25, 2011

This is really a useful tool to improve your reading speed. I have tried many in the past in vain. This app has been improving my speed quite well since I got it. Great app.

Love the speed reading app, & the ability to pace yourself. Everyone should use it! + the other sources available to find books is excellent.

Great way to read!

by Jersey Grandpa, United States, September 22, 2011

So far, I have been using the pasteboard feature. It's very easy to get material into it and then save it for later. The integration with Instapaper is nice. I'm definitely reading faster in the app itself, and hope that with enough practice it will carry over to other reading – both electronically and with paper. I remember Evelyn Wood devices from a long time ago and have always wanted to try speed reading again. I'm very happy to have this app.

Perhaps The Best App Ever!!

by Hfhgtf, United States, September 19, 2011

Perhaps The Best App Ever!!

Perfect

by Atymcm, United States, September 18, 2011

I have been looking for a reader like this for years. This one is better than I hoped for.

Love Quick Reader

by Allee, United States, September 11, 2011

I love the software. I have been able to reader quicker and actually read more of my personal books. You will have to unlock your own personal ebooks with other software first in order to import them into this software. A little tricky but after that your good to go. Yay I love it.

Needs improvement

by Aheiks, Malaysia, September 11, 2011

It needs to integrate with websites so that people can read it directly rather than copy and paste.

This is fantastic ap tp use to boost your reading speed. The iPad version is easier to use than the iPhone ap, the screen is much more like a "normal" page size, and its much easier on the eyes. I've recently started a new job as an editor of a scientific journal, and re-learning how to read at speeds of >1000 wpm as I used to in my long lost youth would be a great advantage. I've been using this ap in conjunction with Tony Buzan's speed reading book, and the easily adjustable speed reader mode, which allows you to push to speeds of well over 2000 wpm is great for that. The moveable cursor has a number of different customizable features, it took a while to find the style that suited me best. You can also read in "normal" book mode, which makes it like any other book reader. As such, it compares well with the iBook reader, and page turns are very quick. I prefer both to the Kindle iPad ap. A speed test mode is very useful for measuring your progress, and saves a lot of time when doing the Buzan exercises. If you used a normal book or another e reader, you'd spend hours counting words and calculating speeds- I don't have time for all that. You can import free domain books from a number of internet sites. The ability to import your own ebooks including PDFs would make it almost perfect. Thoroughly recommended.

Love it

by Belinda Morse, United States, September 4, 2011

Great…I use it just to read. I wish there was a way to highlight and save passages.

Great app

by Colejnd, United States, September 3, 2011

I have never written a review before but this app is so good I had to add my comments. I have always been a slow reader and need to read for work. I have taken several different speed reading courses and never gained significant speed. After only a few sessions my speed has increased about 40% and I am sure I will do considerably better. I am very excited about this program. It is well worth the minimal cost.

Reading Improving

by 박우현, United States, August 30, 2011

Pros: I've used this app for about a week and feel it is making a difference each day. I have loved it and recommend it to anyone who likes to read and wants to improve their reading. Con: I only gave it 4 stars because it changes pages too easily. Any accidental brush almost anywhere on the screen will move you a page ahead or back, losing your place on the page you were on. Sometimes even trying to pause the reading causes this when you try to tap the screen but are a little off and tap the oversized page turning section of the screen. May I suggest having one specific place on each side of the screen to turn the page, not the whole side or page?

Best App ever!!!

by Kamikaze Watermelon, United States, August 28, 2011

Get this app now. You won't be sorry.

Perfect for ADHD!

by Scott Wilson, United States, August 27, 2011

I love this app mainly because it helps keep me on task and reading. Great for reading on the treadmill, too!

Great App worth every penny, it will be a 5 start once we can download PDF books directly to the App

I like it a lot

by George Shoemaker, United States, August 23, 2011

This is a valuable app

It works

by Brothajohn, United States, August 20, 2011

If you put in some consistent effort. It's great. If textbooks and other materials could be imported it would be a scholars dream app.

Fantastic

by Wolfewinters, Canada, August 17, 2011

Great way to read. I mainly use the normal reading mode. I timed myself a few times so it can tell me how long it will take to finish the chapter. Works great no problems.

Great app

by ReynolS, United States, August 13, 2011

I use this for reading webpages where I copy and paste the text into the pasteboard. Works quite well! It would be kind of cool if it had a mode to scroll the text from the bottom to the top. It would be nice to not have to deal with the tiny pause between page flips.

Fast

by 00000000000000000000000000000000007, United States, August 13, 2011

Fast became my favorite reading app

For readers!

by Unkyo, Canada, August 12, 2011

This app is simply one of the best apps I have on my iPhone. Simply to use and easy to read. Highly recommended.

Love the speed reading practice this app allows for me. Great flexibility with settings. The thing that will push this already great app over the top is the ability to pay to download books that I'd rather read than the classics. Imagine the revenues you and publishers can get if readers read more and faster because they're interested. Perhaps offer another version (on top of the Lite and Standard versions) with this capability at a higher price. I bet people will be willing to pay a premium.

Good app

by SteveD328, United States, August 4, 2011

Quick Reader

by Mahvels, United States, August 3, 2011

Great app. Easy to use, lots of media. Highly recommend.

Give up one Subway sandwich

by uaku, United States, July 27, 2011

It's worth every penny of it and tastes lot better than subway sandwich. Very useful app. Simple and brilliant, tech support is very helpful and prompt in replies. Treat yourself today. Enjoy reading

Best ereader for iPad

by bodycoach2, United States, July 24, 2011

Kindle and iBooks could take lessons from Quickreader functionality. This is on of my most used apps, and definitely one of my top five.

Best reading/book app ever

by TommyToaster, United States, July 23, 2011

I was sceptic at first because of the price. But once I saw the wonderful library selection I was hooked. In only a few days I went from a 330 per min reader to around 400! I love this app, and I recommend it to anyone who loves reading, or is a slow reader.

Enjoy reading

by Deltadad7, United States, July 23, 2011

This is a very good app . I have enjoyed the content . The eye training is great. I now can read with ease. If you have trouble sticking at one spot , in your reading. This app well help you over come this . Just like riding a bike. When you start you never stop, enjoy. Quick easy simple. Best way to train your mind, ( Unequivocal ) .

sno

by T B Schnoebelen, United States, July 23, 2011

a great app. improves reading speed.

Wondeful app

by Xubyaj, United States, July 21, 2011

I enjoy this app quite a bit. It helps with your speed reading just like it says. Also the selection to libraries full of books. Recomended to anyone who enjoys reading and would like to soak up more books faster.

Great App

by Abba Page, United States, July 19, 2011

This app is a great help concerning my reading and comprehension skills, of which I had a little. But I can tell, even after only a week of nightly reading (about 20min at a time)- I can see the progress myself! I'm only average at speed-reading, but I will soon become better.

Great tool for riping through masses of research

by Pxmcm, Ireland, July 18, 2011

I read research all day and this app is a great break from straight reading. Easy to use.

Great App!

by Cross_harps, United States, July 15, 2011

I have always wanted to take a speed reading course, and now I have one right on my Ipad. This app has helped me increase my reading speed by almost 50 words per minute in only a few short sessions. The app is very easy to use, and the setting are self-explanatory and very easy to use. Definitely worth the money! I would really love it if the next updates could include a highlighting/notes feature. It would also be wonderful to be able to read books that I have purchased through my Nook and Kindle and Ibook apps, too. Don't know if that's possible, but it would be nice.

EyeQ on steroids

by Emmjay71, United States, July 14, 2011

I'm going to keep it simple, this is a great product and wroth the $4.95 I paid. Normal reading, speed reading, speed test it's all there and more. There's a great selections of free books and it's great for kids to practice their speed reading also. Just try the Lite version and you'll see for yourself.

Incredibly worthwhile app

by gno123, United States, July 13, 2011

This is a useful, well-done app. Downloading books from feedbooks.com is quick and easy, and the viewing options let you customize the fonts, look of the page, etc. The developer supports it very actively. I generally read several books at a time, so one feature I'd like to see is a list of books currently being read. Support for "push-up" drills, a la Evelyn Wood, would also be very nice.

Great App!

by bkFlip, United States, July 13, 2011

I have quick reader for my iPad and if it were the only app on this device, I could still justify my purchase of the iPad.

I didn't think I'd actually find such a great speed-reading app – but am extremely glad I did. Now to keep practicing!

Great

by Jskal, United States, July 6, 2011

One of only a few apps i ever paid for and is worth the money.

Greatest App for Reading!

by Fran Lithonia, United States, July 6, 2011

This is one is the most enjoyable apps I have purchased. The volume and variety of material available for reading is wonderful. This was a wise investment with invaluable dividends.The best reader of it's kind.

Killer app

by John Salvaggio, United States, July 6, 2011

I can read so much faster

Superb app!

by Lisa Tingle, United Kingdom, July 6, 2011

I have been using this app for a few weeks now on recommendation of a friend. It's easy to use, doesn't crash and has a huge selection of literature available covering all topics. Definitely 100% worth getting if you love to read.

Excellent app

by Dpadraig, United States, July 5, 2011

I'm a doctoral student and have to read a great deal of material in a short amount of time. While I agree with another reviewer that it would be excellent if you could apply the software to your purchased ebooks, on another device, the app is still excellent for it's use as a tool to learn to speed read.

Good app

by Sharon Loria, United States, July 5, 2011

Read quickly or more slowly … Easily regulated.

Good resource

by CiCi1922, United States, July 4, 2011

Real easy to use. Quick way to get some reading done while waiting in line.

Almost Perfect

by Shanpa, United States, June 30, 2011

Would be the go to app for reading if I could read my purchased ebooks on it. Everything about having the guide makes sense. Reading on an ipod is so much nicer when the pages turn themselves. If only I could read new books with it!!!!!

Good reader

by Texchanchan, United States, June 30, 2011

I just use it to read with. It works fine for that. Doesn't do bookmarks, though.

Great app. Integration with rss apps would make it perfect

by NICHOLAS MAISANO, United States, June 29, 2011

Great application and does what it says. I do wish it integrated with my rss app (reeder) or readitlater, which in my mind would make this app perfect.

Great speed reading reader

by 5ishen, United States, June 29, 2011

This is just what I was looking for, as far as being a Stanza alternative that has an auto-advance reading feature. Now that you can import your own texts with Calibre it's super flexible. I also love the speed test to see how fast I'm reading without the guide. Good stuff.

Get smart quickly!

by Dsman456, United States, June 29, 2011

This app is awesome. You can become a reading machine if you get serious. Standardized tests? Too easy after this prep. Hint.. Tilt device sideways and make the highlighter 1 stop per line.

Great app

by Speedread, Australia, June 28, 2011

This app is a great tool for improving speed reading skills and comes with loads of free books. Highly recommended. A built in metronome option would be a useful addition.

If you're looking for an app that trains your speed-reading AND integrates all the great free literature out there, this is it. Scifi, fantasy, romance, mystery, it's all there. You might not even need to buy novels for a while. But what this can't do yet (because I know the author is very responsive to feedback) is read PDF files of your own choosing. This is due to the text-unfriendly format of PDFs anyway. For PDFs, I suggest using online converters, saving it as a DOC and pasteboarding REASONABLE chunks of text (like 0.5 – 1 chapter or so). You might not like this, but there is no other app I know off that can do this. Oh, and the speed-reading technique here is legit. I know because I attended a $200 speedreading course before buying this app. The app is highly worth it's value.

There are a lot of useful features in this app to help with speed reading practice. The configuration options give a wide range of choices for controlling the use. The selection of included books as well as the downloadable ones gives plenty to choose from.

Awesome app that helps with Speed Reading!

by Stefan Steigerwald, United States, June 17, 2011

This app is really great and trains you to read faster!

Excellent app.

by Polak72, United States, June 16, 2011

A must have!

Excellent App

by Guifar, United States, June 13, 2011

I've been reading word by word all my life and was skeptic but curious. I tried it, and it did help me read several words at a time, it's amazing how faster you can read this way. Credit should be given to the developers because this way of reading is bound to become a standard feature in all ebook reading programs.

Great app

by Mike Pampinella, United States, June 12, 2011

One of the best apps money can buy. Especially for iPad users.

Love it.

by CharlieWork, United States, June 10, 2011

Perfect tool for developing speed reading acumen.

Excellent guidance

by Kraevyn08, United States, June 9, 2011

The app is really great at guiding the eye at pace. I have already increased my reading speed by 100 words in the first week. The only thing that I would like to see is perhaps some videos, additional reading or lessons on breaking down the focus of the segments to help with memory retention. I.E. Memory quizzes, per chapter

Review

by Rajoli, United States, June 9, 2011

Good app!

Simply Awesome – Must Have!!

by Str793, Canada, June 1, 2011

Whether you're looking to increase your reading speed, or just to read existing information more quickly and easily this application is totally insane. The ability to import pdf's (in conjunction with Caliber- a free app) means that anything that can be downloaded or converted to pdf format can be imported and speed-read using QuickReader. Not to mention all of the free e-book formated books, articles, summaries, journals, etc. that are in cyberspace. A great tool for the person wanting to absorb more information, more quickly and easily. (No need to import using pasteboard unless you want to). If you read, you should have this application. It's one of the last things that I would give up on my iPhone.

Great training tool

by redadz, United States, May 27, 2011

Yes, there are better e-readers, but for me this app is about speed reading training, and it's excellent for that.

A decent application worth experimenting!

by Akg0, Singapore, May 21, 2011

Within the limits of a mobile screen, it is a pretty handy app. I would recommend the serious players to use a laptop and associated app though!

Great for reading

by ILuvJesus1234, United States, May 21, 2011

This is a great app. It has really increased my reading speed. I not only read my ePub books on it, but I also copy long emails and read it on this app using pasteboard. If you like reading a lot of ebooks you need this app. Now, if they only had it for the Blackberry Playbook, my ereading life would be great.

Good app

by Crabstix99, Australia, May 20, 2011

Good app found it easy to use and speed reading practice works well. Works well as a book reader. Would be handy if you could have a folder system to help arrange your books, maybe a favorites as well. A copy text function would be useful for searching and dictionary would also add value. Overall happy with app.

Time is Money

by EinRand, United States, May 19, 2011

The best use of money is the purchase of more time. One should be willing to buy this app for the great works of literature alone, yet none of us has the time to read them – until now! This App works as advertised with no bugs. I found it uncomfortable at first, but after making the effort to not subvocalize and allow the eyes to become trained in the movement it becomes progressively easier. It helps if you choose a book you have already read and make an effort not to despair at momentary loss of context. The app allows for change in speed, grouping, colors, and fonts. All of which make it much easier on the eyes. To think I hesitated in buying Apple and ever contemplated Kindle!

Awesome app!!!!!!!

by Berlin Sommerfeld, Canada, May 18, 2011

I had tried a few different book apps and this one is by far the best. Any book i want to read anywhere I go. From classics to some of my favourites, this is an app for avid readers.

Love it. Read more than ever now

by Darrell Wilson, United States, May 16, 2011

This app makes reading so easy and convenient. It tells me how long it will take to finish reading so I can always know when I will finish. This is great for travel when I have a few extra minutes. The visual highlighted helps me read at a very fast pace and I can adjust it to suit my need for any piece of material. I love the integration with instapaper. I never read anything in my browser anymore.

Love it!

by Lenetan, Norway, May 13, 2011

I love it! It has made me read 3 times faster, and I had a problem reading. I used to read about 100 words per minute, now I read over 300! The average in my country is 200.. So going from "not able to read" to "over the average" is a great improving! It would be great to read your own books in quickreader!

Awesome

by :wq, United States, May 13, 2011

Great app! The only thing I'd wish for is an easy way to practice and push myself (like an onscreen dial to adjust my reading speed), but otherwise, it is just so much fun. I agree with others who say they would like to be able to import their purchased ebooks, but if reading classics is good enough, by all means buy the app. You won't regret it.

Ottima app.

by johnnydarkmoon, Italy, May 12, 2011

Ottima app, mi piace sopratutto la guida per le righe.

Real Speed Reading

by Sammy Santacruz, United States, May 2, 2011

I use the app to read Internet text more than anything.

Best App EVER for Readers

by Rich Schefren, United States, April 21, 2011

I use this app daily and would buy an iPad for this one app alone. My reading speed has tripled since I started using it (from 800wpm to 2,400wpm) and I expect it to get even faster. Support has been excellent, same with the upgrades. Buy it – you'll love it.

Great app

by DJwwl, Canada, April 17, 2011

I use this app quite frequently because I really enjoy reading and I do read a lot. There are 1,000s of free ebooks I can read that I'm not going to the library as often as I used too. With the speed reading I have saved time catching up on other things to do or adding another book to my 'read it' list. Many thanks for this wonderful app.

Pretty cool

by Sanae Martin, United States, April 17, 2011

I love that I can read my favorite classics and practice speed reading at the same time. I'm impressed with the wide selection of classics to choose from. This is a great app, especially at this price. I do have a short wish-list. 1) The ability to import books, or open files from my nook or kindle apps and practice speed-reading with those. 2) a tracking system so I can see my progress over time, not just since my last session.

Great app,very useful

by Droopydogblue, United States, April 16, 2011

This is a very useful app. There are plenty of older books for free. It has enough options to customize pretty much anything you need to. I can't think of anything else that this app could benefit from. I'm sure someone will though. I look forward to any updates that might make this already great app better.

A wonderful app! Thank you!

by LKSovacool, United States, April 15, 2011

Love the speed reading.

by GEORGE WILKERSON, United States, April 14, 2011

I use this app a lot just to read txt books it is an awesome app

Fantastic App!

by Gadianton78, United States, April 10, 2011

This app is a great tool to help improve your reading. Great updates! Tons of material to read! It's just Awesome!

Love the fact that I can read from the older authors that other ereaders no longer carry. Don't use the speed feature much, but plan to in the future.

Love it!

by Cometkicker, United States, April 3, 2011

I use it to read all the time on my iPhone. Maybe I spend too much time reading?

Great app

by J M Spoon, United States, April 2, 2011

Helps increase speed plus a great standard reader as well.

Love this app…

by Adam Vahratian, United States, March 31, 2011

Can you increase max word rate…

A lean, mean, reading machine!

by David R. Reid, Canada, March 29, 2011

Let me extend my congratulations for making such a nice reader program. Some very useful features and none of the erroneous fluff in so many I've used. Since my first PDA over ten years ago, I have read thousands books and hundreds of short stories using various eReaders. These days If I can't read it on my iPad, I don't read it. Very well done. I have 4 readers on this iPad, But yours is my day to day work horse. I highly recommend it! Cheers, Dave

excellent

by pehs, United States, March 28, 2011

great for increasing speed as well as reading and having easy access to books any time. Thank You.

Excellent

by GAMGEE, United States, March 25, 2011

I don't use the speed reading feature but I've been able to download any book I'd want and bring it with me everywhere.

Great reader

by Ownage22, Canada, March 23, 2011

Easy to use. Lots of titles to try.

QuickReader

by Longhorn Lassie, United States, March 22, 2011

I use this app for speed reading a little each day but I get the most use out of the Pasteboard feature which allows me to paste text of my own for which I don't want further editing. The background and text color and size choices make this reader easy on my eyes.

Excellent reader

by RickAlcock, Canada, March 14, 2011

Best reader I have used yet. I'm impressed

Fantastic!

by Daniel Genesee, Canada, March 14, 2011

This really is the best e-reader available on iTunes. The speed reading features are surprisingly well executed. There is some controversy about whether speed reading practices actually lead to a permanent increase in reading speed; but even if the speed increases are temporary the automatic page turning feature is worth the price of admission alone. If the developers added a built-in dictionary, and some way to highlight text, and add notes this app would be perfect.

Great! But…

by Paulliuww, United States, March 14, 2011

No book importing from iBooks, kindle, etc. This is the best reader ive used, I just want to use it on modern books! I suspect this isn't your fault, so 5 stars instead of 4. Great for speed reasons and stretching yourself. ——- Updated: I'm begging you, find a way to get kindle or other current books . This is more than a tool for reading faster, it is the best reader, period! I can't use iBooks anymore, so I'm stuck waiting for you!

nice app!

by st82, United States, March 13, 2011

i luv it!!

Great app.

by Rolandroid, Belgium, March 10, 2011

Anything that advances the usefullness of our brain is awesome. I'd still like to see impovements. Especially on how to progress what set ups? What excersizes? Etc?

Quick reader review

by wawright62, United States, March 8, 2011

This app is amazing, I only wish I could have had something like this years ago when I think of all the books I could have read by finally having the time, the time this app trains you for. I can't say enough, if I were a movie critic I would give it a hearty thumbs up!

Speed reader

by Tohbi Soba, United States, March 7, 2011

This is a great app and would recommend it to anyone trying to improve their speed.

Great App

by Freemose, United States, March 6, 2011

I practice my speed reading on the train to work. It really works.

Super Great App

by Bay Area Sports Fan, United States, March 6, 2011

This is my favorite non-game app. It offers over a Million free books that are great for casual or speed reading. The speed reading guide (which can be turned off) is great for eye exercises to improve range of vision. The only bad thing is the library is limited to free public domain titles, free Self-Published independent titles, and titles from the Baen Free Library. People looking for current best sellers won't find them here.

Excellent

by Fresleven, United States, March 5, 2011

I am very pleased so far. I would like to be able to put multiple bookmarks in a single book, but I have not been able to figure out how to do that.

Will increase reading speed!

by Mcc2, United States, March 5, 2011

Use for just a few minutes a day, pushing yourself beyond your comfortable reading speed, and you'll notice improvement after just a few uses. Highly recommended!

Very Helpful

by It's academic, Australia, March 4, 2011

I found the concept of the app amazingly simple and useful. I enjoy the range of available books so much that I have not had time to explore outside this. Annoying glitch is a repeated use of speed dreading on the same book; the next session will start at the right place, but the title box is incorrectly labelled. I can see it's having an effect on my normal reading already.

One of my favorite apps

by darrell385, United States, March 4, 2011

I use it nearly every day and have brought my speed reading up to 724 wpm.

Speed Reader

by Xqzaw, United Kingdom, March 3, 2011

Only just got this. Had it for a day or two and really like. I've tried a book form of speed reading which was good on the theory – as is this. What I like about this is firstly the speed test (once you figure out how to stop it – swipe L-R). Also the ability to set your reading speed and number of fixations is excellent. It allows you to challenge yourself and forces you to allow your brain to relax and do what it's fully capable of.

Fantastic

by Gabriel Zurek, United States, February 28, 2011

This is simply the best speed reading software you find in the app store as there are100s of free high quality books to download !

Great product

by Danee323232, United States, February 27, 2011

Love the constant updates. Great product overall.

Great work! Keep updating!

by Chantelle O, United States, February 24, 2011

This is an amazing speed-reading app. I originally purchased it to increase my reading speed + comprehension in order to improve my LSAT score. It has delivered in this respect. There is a learning curve to speed reading. Initially, your comprehensions decreases at higher speeds, but If you're diligent you will see results. Suggestions for future updates: – ***** a way to import epubs from Dropbox ****** – integration with goodreader or pdf support would be nice

Excellent

by PaulSmi, United Kingdom, February 23, 2011

Everything you could want in a speed reading app and a LOT more besides. I've read several books using it now and find it a pleasure to use. The user interface is clean and intuitive, and the ability to tweak everything to suit your own needs is terrific. I just wish I could get all of my reading material into it as I would use it for everything if I could. If that were possible I reckon I would be over 600 wpm in no time flat.

Frequent enhancements, easy to use and teaches good technique

by Mattyturz, United Kingdom, February 23, 2011

-Clean and clear ui -Customizable tracker/guide/background -Can dl ebooks right into the program -Can test your reading speed It also teaches you a good technique, which is take bigger chunks of words with each movement of your eye. I have used this program for many months and love it. They keep updating too, adding new features instead of just bug fixes!

Great Multiuse App

by Isquiesque, United States, February 22, 2011

Great for improving your reading speed, but I also use it a lot for just casual reading. The screen rotation lock and ability to paste in your own stuff to read make it quite useful. My only complaint is that it loads up mega slowly, but once it *is* loaded it's nice and fast. Of all my apps, I tend to recommend this one to others most frequently.

I don't use the speed reading features, I just wanted a reader that wouldn't crash and is fast. For that this app is fine.

Good Ap

by Spdrdr, Canada, February 11, 2011

It's ability to use Calibre to allow me to upload any pdf, and many other types of ebooks and then improve my reading speed is great. My laptop has Calibre installed and using wifi I can move files to Quickreader. Works well once I figured it out which didn't take too long. My reading speed is definitely improving.

Improving reading speed

by Shane311, United States, February 9, 2011

This is a great app

Great App

by David Rolle, United States, February 3, 2011

Reserved the last star for when I test the speed reading aspect. Thus far, it's a must for those who love to read and want to improve their reading speed. The library is phenomenal, the selections, speaks volumes…books I had given up looking for, I can now locate and read. Kudos.

Good but with flaws

by Budding speed reader, Singapore, February 2, 2011

The pasteboard function is not sufficient to meet the needs of users due to the flaw of the copy function in the iPhone 3gs where multiple paragraphs can't be copied at once.

Reading and thinking are now matched!

by Felix Fumble, United Kingdom, January 31, 2011

This app is outstanding! If you want to read at the same speed as you think – this app will make it possible. Reading can be equated to a log jam in a winding river somewhere in British Columbia. Everything slows down to an eventual stop. Increasing your speed through this app will completely change your comprehension levels, devouring books at incredible speeds and also being aware of everything you have read – gestalt – knowing the whole. So exciting! Thinking faster is a nice side effect. A word to the makers. Thank you. p.s could you fix the stops per line settings for they are inactive on my app and I have tried re downloading to no avail.

Quickreader is great

by Zoellez, South Africa, January 30, 2011

This is a great app. It really does improve reading speeds. It would be even greater if one could be able to track one's progress in a log of sorts.

Excellent

by Senior student, Australia, January 29, 2011

This is as good, if not better, than any speed reading program I have encountered. The range of available texts is impressive, and I've uploaded my own with Pasteboards. Comprehension tests can be a problem and you are better off creating your own. Ron Lawrence

Awesome

by Andrewlerm, United States, January 29, 2011

This product got me reading again it rocks

This I'd recommend

by Duguid matt, Canada, January 27, 2011

Deft a good application for reading on the go

Really helps u read faster & more relaxed

by Southbeachdesign, United States, January 27, 2011

I like the adjustable speed, rate etc & bookmarking where I last left off

Phenomenal! Well worth the money.

by sosofunny, United States, January 24, 2011

There are sooo many books available on this app. If I can change one thing, they could make more current texts and current authors available; that or make a way to transfer books purchased in another app to be read in this one..but no regrets with this app

Outstanding

by tuni30, Canada, January 19, 2011

this app hasnreally helped me get more of my readings done, and has helped me stay focused on what i'm reading

Great App

by cycledon, United States, January 18, 2011

I love this app. but would be better if modern books were added, even if with an additional charge. It would be even better if I could add my purchased books to the library.

Great software!

by AC in TN, United States, January 18, 2011

Very easy to use and does help me read faster. I especially like all the free books. I highly recommend this app.

This is an excellent app. Easy to use and navigate, comes with some great starter books, and teaches you how to speed read, or at least read faster!

Pretty good app

by Cuddles2, United States, January 10, 2011

Great if you like the Classics. I would like to see more modern recently written books.

Quick reader review

by justin songs, United States, January 8, 2011

Quick reader is an outstanding app for anyone who is serious about increasing their reading speed. It is easy to use and comes with access to thousands of free classic online ebooks. One of the most useful apps I have come across. Well worth the price!

I only miss something to show me exactly where I am (page x of y pages total and chapter. Or %)

Worth the money

by Mavericks3344, United States, January 5, 2011

Love the free book selection. Great app!

Excellent tool for your mind!

by Joe Green, United States, January 3, 2011

This app is an awesome tool for measuring and developing your reading skills across all types of reading materials! An excellent buy and something that can be used for a long long time. The new enhancements expand the functionality even more. Great to be able to have on the iPad as well!!!!

Love it!

by JasonMasker, United States, January 3, 2011

Great app. My favorite reader.

What I've wanted!

by Reed Johnstone, United States, January 2, 2011

I took a speed reading course 15 years ago that taught the same principles this app applies. Instead of having to read two handed, with one hand underlining text to guide your eyes, you can kick back and let this app guide your eyes AND turn the pages for you. It's so awesome how easy it is to practice and simply read. And the book selection is enormous! Training tip: warm up at your fastest pace for 30 sec. Then add 1-200 WPM to your pace and read for 30 sec. Speed up again a few more times. Increase the lines per stop so that your eyes move at a comfortable pace as speed increases, and relax your gaze so that you take in more words. Then, slow down to 100 WPM faster than your previous fastest pace. You should notice yourself understanding a lot more this time. My current pace: 870 WPM.

Excellent Tool For Students

by College Director, Canada, January 1, 2011

This is a very good application that could significantly benefit students. One thing I would stress is to alter the settings (use the bar above the text instead of using highlighted words) so that your eyes get accustomed to utilizing the white space (via your peripheral vision) above the text to read quicker.

Gooooood

by Mafla, United States, January 1, 2011

Perfect, nice, educative, … Etc. I love it!

Easy to scroll and page

by Rillum, Denmark, December 30, 2010

This reader works really well and shows consistent quality, Also, it is easy to change page using the normal reader, and all the possible customizations of the scroll function makes it really practical, two functions that are really important to me when reading on a smartphone.

Quick Reader

by Excel1, United States, December 27, 2010

This app is awesome. It improves reading speed. And it turns reading into a fun activity to look forward to. I love it.

It's a great app. And best of all they keep adding content. And while I'm not exactly a speed reader now it does help me read books faster.

Great app

by Brossen, United States, December 25, 2010

Well designed app. Easy to use, and I appreciate the selection of free books.

Great app

by Adolfo Rodriguez, United States, December 24, 2010

It would be great if this app had a full page option in which you are supposed to glance one page at a time. This would allow to use techniques such photoreading. Another interesting option would be the possibility for skipping words letting the brain complete the sentences

Seriously useful

by macHugo7, United States, December 24, 2010

Wow, to have multitasking on iOS is undisputedly convenient! I love to copy n paste news articles from NY Times into this app using the paste board feature. Whilst the app has a selection library of books, importing your own reading material makes it infinitely more useful. If you want to improve your reading speed at your own pace, then this app is definitely a beneficial tool.

Great App

by Jimmy iTunes, United States, December 23, 2010

Works great! Read up on how to speed read too, this is a great tool!

Great help in speed reading

by Estival-, United States, December 21, 2010

This app is very helpful for me to build upon my speed reading class. Puts the web content in a speed reading friendly environment until I get to a stage where I do not need the speed reading aids. Developer is also very responsive. App had an issue with my version of OS and he pushed a patch out within a day and was willing to provide me with a push to my device while it goes through Apple's approval process.

Great Application.

by Dahman1, United Kingdom, December 19, 2010

You want to develop faster reading skills, this application helps. It forces you to read faster and recognise words in whole chunks.

Stanza is still the best

by 1st-time reviewer, United States, December 18, 2010

I'm amending the review as I finally got the app to recognize Calibre after rebooting iPad twice. Still a bit pri ey compared to the other free readers. I can't get my epub books into this app from Calibre or any other way. I'm not certain what the problem is as I can send books to Stanza and iBooks. Also, both of those apps have other means of loading books via the file upload in iTunes. This app does not. The speed reading is kind of cool, but until I can get books I'm actually reading on the iPad in this app, I'll give it a mediocre rating. The cost(compared to free) is enough to be upsetting.

Good app for a slow reader

by dapperapper, United States, December 17, 2010

This is as good of a speed-reading app as you will find, regardless of platform. Good selection of books from various sites.

Very useful app.

by Danger82, United States, December 17, 2010

Have seen speed improvement. Not overwhelming thus far, but nevertheless significant to me! Very impressed by options available within app. Wish there were more tips on how to maximize progression. Somewhat seems to exercise my reading skills/habits into shape. Have you considered adding other eye training/strengthening/coordination exercises outside of following the speed rate guide?

An incredible help

by Deathbrin, United States, December 13, 2010

I've always struggled to read anything in a reasonable amount of time. With this app, I'm seeing noticeable (and measurable) improvement. Quick reader is unlocking a wealth of knowledge and information I never thought I'd have the time to get to.

Best Speed Reading App By Far

by Salser007, United States, December 12, 2010

I have all of the speed reading apps, this one blows them all away

Working

by Glennhova, United States, December 5, 2010

So far its making grouping words easier. If u use it… It does what it claims.

Solid speed reader.

by Pixieball, Canada, December 5, 2010

Best I've seen so far. Minor issues.

Excellent!

by Jet Sunrider, United States, December 4, 2010

Best investment made for iphone and iPad. Reading rate has increased greatly. Reading material is accessible at all times, picking up at last place read. Speed reader is outstanding and reasonable in price, and should be apart of all students tools in study and research. Would like to see some sort of flashcard application as well. Wolf.

Quickreader review

by Bill168, Singapore, December 3, 2010

It's a good software in many ways. It'd be great to have a monitoring tool of speed improvement and more tips for reading faster. I request for bestsellers.

Very cool!

by Preston Nevins, Japan, December 1, 2010

QuickReader is very nicely done — having the moving highlight pushing me along in the text is very effective. Sometimes it feels like I want to move ahead of it, and other times I feel I’m being pulled along faster than I would have read otherwise. IOW it’s showing me just how turbulent my reading speed tends to be. It’ll be nice to have an opportunity to even things out. I totally love how it automatically interfaces with the ebook library in Calibre, where I have all my ebooks stored anyway. I just opened the "Books in calibre" item and all my books in Calibre (already running on my Mac) were automagically listed right there on the iPhone. Didn’t have to set anything up at all. So now I have lots of interesting things to read. Nifty! There is one problem, though it's really outside of the design of the app — QuickReader isn't good with Japanese text. It does display it just fine, but without spaces between the words QR doesn't know where to divide things so the moving highlight can’t split text into e.g. three chunks-per-line. It just displays each line as one chunk, meaning at the same speed setting it scrolls down the page at triple speed :D. But it’s not designed for Japanese text, so that’s not worth a star off. Totally worth the 700 yen.

Room for improvement

by Susan Chastain, United States, November 27, 2010

Updated review: This app has improved a great deal since I first reviewed it. The developer responded to my request for left justified text and that helps me a lot. Now you can import books through Calibre desktop software, too, which is great. This is my preferred app for reading on my iPod touch as long as I can get the books in it. I still have not pushed past the 430 wpm barrier mentioned in my original review, however. Original review (3 stars): Most of the classic books included with this reader can be found for free elsewhere. I bought the app mainly for the speed reading training. In that respect, it has been a bit disappointing. I started out around 250 wpm and after a few practice sessions I was up to 400 wmp. I was impressed at the start but I seem to be stuck in a plateau now. After 2-3 weeks of daily practice, I have not been able to push past 430 wmp. Many of the books are older, which (for me) makes them harder to read due to the language. As this is the only auto-advancing ebook reader I have found for the iPod touch, it would really add to the value if I could import ebooks from other sources. Yes, it has copy and paste, but I have not had any luck getting longer texts into the program. I'd like the program much more if I could practice with modern books of my own choosing. I would like to see a setting option for left justified text. I find fully justified text very hard to read. Aside from that, the settings allow for a lot of customization.

Really neat

by Bradley Benoit, Canada, November 25, 2010

Simple to use. Supports great free book sites. Depth to the app that can help you read faster. Love the average speed timer.

Love it

by Hotel crook, United States, November 24, 2010

Very enjoyable. Anywhere I happen to be, I can read. And my speed is increasing. Thank you!

Best speed reader

by Jamesyr, United Kingdom, November 12, 2010

With new quicker page turner exactly what I was looking for. Tried a couple of other speed reading apps but this is definitely the best!

MUST HAVE APP!!!

by Knowledgeisthekey, United States, November 12, 2010

This is DEFINITELY the BEST practical speedreading app. The books are awesome and the ability to paste whole chapters to read is AWESOME!!! Anyone who is trying to increase their reading speed should definitely purchase this app. It is a worthwhile investment!!!

In the week that I have been using this program I have noticed a significant improvement how I read. With continued practice I will be reading a line at a time, program is well worth downloading and using, Thanks!

The best book reader out there

by AlinVoicu, Romania, November 10, 2010

Not only do you have he option of reading tons of books available directly in the app or by downloading from the various repositories integrated in the app, you can also import text and read it here. And of course, the main feature of this app : bettering your reading speed is done in such a chalanging way, it makes it fun. Keep on the updates and features. I am so glad I buyed this app. Cheers guys

Cant Live Without It…

by Asi Es Cierto, United States, November 10, 2010

This program is the real deal. You will be amazed how addictive this becomes. I find myself using this several times per day. What is really cool is my reading speed is increasing and I'm reading more than ever. It's easy to convert most any pdf file using Calibre (full instructions come with it). Here's a way I use this to maximize my learning. I read an ebook and underline the areas of importance. I export my markings and bring them into this program, then speed read them. It's a great way to learn fast. This program is amazingly adjustable. You can adjust the margins ( start smaller and slowly increase their width and watch your speed soar), adjust speed – if you can think of it, you can adjust it. If you need or want to learn faster, read faster and do it easily – get this program. And with the coming iPad version (no extra charge) the value is immense.

Quick Reader best of the readers!

by fitzj53, United States, November 8, 2010

This has it all, excellent resources, great layout, ease of use. Also helps your speed. A must have for anyone who loves reading.

Mr

by Maestro5391, United Kingdom, November 3, 2010

One of the best apps available in any category. Plenty of excellent books available for free. Encouraged me to start reading and studying new disciplines. More importantly teaches speadreading. Navigation is easy and there is an option for normal reading. Must have app!!

Wonderful app!

by Janet Hess, United States, October 26, 2010

Just downloaded this a few hours ago, and already I'm in love. I can hardly wait to see future versions taking advantage of the iPad "panorama." I giggle at the prospect of speed-reading Dostoyevsky and Kafka, but I appreciate the care and thought that shine through QuickReader. Thanks for this one.

Feedback

by Trumpytrout, United Kingdom, October 24, 2010

Absolutely love this app, it's like carrying a city library in your pocket millions of books free to download so easy, I use it every day best app I have. Don't fanny around download, you won't be disappointed.

Does what it promises and more!

by Awesome!$&!&:!!!, United States, October 19, 2010

This app not only helped out my reading significantly within days and provided great books to read in the process, but you are taken care of after purchasing. I had an issue figuring out how to put my own text…emailing the creator with my concern was responded in a matter of minutes back and forth until my issue was resolved! Not expected but well appreciated

Exactly what you want!

by R Used Minds, United States, October 18, 2010

I was looking for an app like this and decided to give it a try. I Love it! I gave it 5 stars now and I will more than likely give it 5 stars when it's iPad ready (can't wait). I am going to buy the Young Reader Version as well for my son. Keep up the good work and keep expanding it's functionality.

Great app hurry w/iPad version

by Aby Saadia, United States, October 14, 2010

It is a great app for increasing your reading speed, would have gotten 5 stars if it had developed an iPad version.

Quick Reader great for schools

by Pvtech, United States, October 14, 2010

Excellent tool for all reading levels also try elementary version for starting readers

Best App Out There!

by Duncan Hendrick, United States, October 13, 2010

This has been extremely beneficial for me. I've increased productivity and my natural reading pace is improving as well. Plus how can you go wrong with access to millions of free books!

QuickReader is the best app I've found!

by James LauRae, United States, October 13, 2010

Great app!!! I love to read and this has so much great stuff. It has also helped me read faster with it's speed reading option, although can be difficult when reading something that you need to retain a lot of info. But then you just read that on the normal setting. Over a great app that I use daily.

Wow!

by Shelfster, United States, October 11, 2010

Wow! Excellent App! I'm reading so much faster now with increased comprehension. Well worth it! I

My favorite reading app

by JeeHLee, United States, October 9, 2010

Helps increase reading speed, very customizable, pages turn automatically, has a big selection. This is my new favorite app for reading on the go.

Great App

by Radreck, United States, October 8, 2010

The speed options are terrific. Would be nice if it had a sectional reader mode like the AceReader Windows app. I would make this 5 stars if they would let me remove their default catalogs from the list. Having such a huge library of options is nice, but since I don't use them I wish I had the ability to either remove or hide them from the list. The Calibre sharing is great, had to figure out that you need to add /Stanza to the URL. Even better would be if the app could access my custom non-DRM books from iBooks and also sync with the bookmark feature as well so I can switch from iPhone and pick up where I left off on the iPad when I am home. Also nice would be the ability to drag .ePub and .TXT files into the app via iTunes. Thanks for a great app! Here's to hoping I don't have to pay for an iPad version also, and their "iPad soon" means it's going Universal!

Great app

by Subungal, United States, October 8, 2010

Living it!

I'm simply loving this app.!

One of the best apps!

by Bob636z, United States, September 27, 2010

Quick reader is a fine app. Its one of the best. Its a example for other app writers to follow. Its well thought out and has lots of features. Still there is a little room for improvement. When in manual reading mode, quick reader needs the option to turn off the page turn effect. This would probably save a little on battery life. Paste boards is useful, still quick reader needs the option to transfer pdfs and text files via Wifi from the home computer.

Awesome

by Pranayami, United States, September 25, 2010

I find that I actually understand and retain more speed reading and I get to read it fast! Amazing! More great lit, more inside me! Thank you!

Page-Turning and Pasting Make This the Best Reader for Iphone

by Pink Linguist, United States, September 16, 2010

Even if you're not interested in increasing your reading speed, you should still use Quick-Reader as your primary Iphone reader. Though it doesn't have quite as many customization options as Stanza (and no text search or navigation bar), it has more than enough to please most users, plus two fabulous features that put it ahead of the competition: 1) No-hands page-turning. Hate obscuring the text with your fingers (or thumbs) when you tap the screen? Just set your Words-Per-Minute at a comfortable pace, and QuickReader turns the pages for you. Simple to use, and far easier on the eyeballs than teleprompter-style Auto-Scrolling. 2) Pasteboarding. You can paste text from other apps into Quickreader and save it as a file, in effect creating your own "mini-book". Very handy when you want to read a long Web article in ebook format. Great, great feature.

Good speed reading trainer

by ahSoon of sg, Singapore, September 13, 2010

Good piece of software. Works as advertised. It's an excellent book reader as well. Love the white on blank mode, which is joy to read at night. It supports multitasking too. Keep up the good work!!

Does what it says it will

by holy underpants, United States, September 11, 2010

I recently started taking college courses and discovered that my time away from school effected my reading ability. So I got the book Breakthrough Rapid Reading and used it along with this app. Between the two I went from from an average of 230 wpm to 520 wpm. I can't really say which helped the most ( book or app ) but between the two I am very happy with my improvements. I recommend this app ( as well as the book ) if you are willing to put in the practice to improve your reading skills/ comprehension.

Great work so far

by Mitochon, Australia, September 8, 2010

Love the concept and execution. Waiting for the day I can upload and read my PDFs in your wonderful little program.

Enjoying it.

by asngriam, United States, September 5, 2010

I think this is a really good app that does what it promises if you follow through on your end. I just wish there were more current books included in the beginning library. The classics are great but harder to read the older English. I know we have access to many more books by downloading, but I've had problems getting this to work. That being said, I will keep trying and will choose to enjoy reading some classics I never read before.

Quickread

by Marymaybe, United States, September 2, 2010

This is a awesome app. I love how easy I can load my personal library using calibre. I like the many different color options to display pages for different lighting and the speed reading options. This is worth every penny. Even if speed reading is not your thing you can set at your own pace and not have to worry about turning pages.

I've doubled my reading speed

by Funkcannon, United States, August 30, 2010

It's worth it.

LOVE THIS APP

by Drnsi, United States, August 29, 2010

This is a really great app!!!! It does everything it promises and does it well. I tried many reading apps before I bought this one and I no longer even look for anything else.

SpeedyReader123

by Mr sad face, United States, August 29, 2010

This is the ONLY app that I repeatedly review. I did not review the previous version because it was flawed. The mistakes have been fixed and now Thousands of books are available to be searched for and to be read. You won't be disappointed!

Wonderful app!!

by oxJuliaxo, Canada, August 28, 2010

I've only been using it for about a week and already I see a great improvement in my reading speed! Plus it provides a vast collection of books and even more that can be downloaded absolutely free from online catalogues! If you are looking to improve your reading speed, I would highly recommend this app!

VERY useful app. I have been wanting to hone my reading skills for a long while, this is perfect!

This app just keeps getting better!

by Bill Rhodes, United States, August 28, 2010

You know, I purchased this app believing that it would probably be a waste of money for me (just like numerous other speed reading programs I've tried). To my delight and surprise it is working. I started with the app set to 300 wpm and now I'm up to 500 wpm and I'm actually getting something out of what I'm reading. My occupation requires a tremendous amount of research, so anything that helps me speed up that process is of great value to me. QuickReader is enjoyable,the selection of reading material is wonderful, and the results are obvious. What more can you ask? I really am excited to see how fast I'll be able to read…Please keep up the great work. This is a fantastic app! Yeah, yeah, I know I'm a geek…never the less the truth is, you'd have read this review in less time if you'd been utilizing this app! Have a great day and God bless.

Great but obvious oversight

by h05ie, United States, August 10, 2010

The ability to edit what you paste to the pasteboard would make this good app even better. Apparently you can re-title and save the pasteboard contents, but you can't select and delete portions of the content or add new text.

I like it!

by R. MD, United States, August 6, 2010

I got this to read through technical papers more quickly, and it really helped. The cut and paste function works well on this end, ie you can paste into the app easily, even if the cut/copy part is quirky in the apps you cut from (which has nothing to do with this app). It's very flexible-you can change the speed, number of phrases highlighted per line, the font color, and the highlighting color. The page-turning function can be a little over sensitive-it'll sometimes skip two pages ahead. It also has a lot of free books that come with it, a great feature. Overall, it's everything I expected, and a good value for the money.

Speed reading

by JHFreeman, United Kingdom, July 27, 2010

Excellent, easy to use & makes speed reading practice enjoyable. As an additional function it would be good if it could flash up a few words at a time at preset speeds.

Almost perfect

by VioletVal, United States, July 27, 2010

I've been using QuickReader to reread the classics at a faster rate. I'm able to understand more while reading faster. If this app could read bold and italics, I would use it as my primary reading app. Tip: While in speed reading mode you can tap and hold your finger on the screen to pause the cursor.

Review

by Actor reading, United States, July 27, 2010

Very useful app has helped my speed As an actor it's helped me very much

Favorite reading app

by 11eight11, United States, July 26, 2010

I can easily switch between guided reading and normal reading modes so I use this app for all my reading now. I also have ADD which can make reading difficult at times. This program is excellent at keeping me focused on every word and I've been flying through books lately. Highly recommended!

Superb!

by Snibblegrit, United States, July 24, 2010

I think this will really help me fiiiiinally get over my "subvocalization" habit (reading comprehension by mentally imagining the sounds of the words in my mind rather than associating the visual image of the words directly with a meaning). Clearly that will take a lot of practice, though, so I'm glad that this app includes a lot of reading material. I'd say it's worth the price just for the eBooks it includes alone!

Great App…

by Joshua Adkins, United States, July 20, 2010

I love everything about this app… but, ONE this that would make it a perfect 5 stars for me is, make the option for the pages to turn, instead of slide…

I like the program very much and it does seem to help improve my overall reading speed. I also like being able to control the font and number of lines to read in one burst. However, I seem to have trouble trying to stop or pause the program while in speed read mode. Hopefully they will resolve this issue on the next upgrade.

Excellent, simply excellent…

by Sven Mund, France, July 17, 2010

…for me this is the best reading software if you're also interested in quick reading. Also, the developer quickly adopts things (like new books lists, iOS4 features)… impressive!

Now it is perfect.

by yankading, United States, July 17, 2010

Now it is perfect that it can download books from your Calibre server. Just awesome. Now it's the best reader on iTunes, and I have tried them all. Hint: if you use Stanza with Calibre, the setup is similar but remember to add "/opds" to the end of the server address or it won't work. I banged my head on this for an hour or so, once I figured it out (by simply RTFM on the Quickreader site) it works like a dream.

Mr.

by Mayeco, United States, July 14, 2010

It is a great tool! I wish the selection of books was greater, very limited specially Spanish books….

Really works

by Bambiña, United States, July 14, 2010

So easy to use. My speed has improved so much more than with a class that I took for this purpose. Great selection…how can you argue about an app that encourages you to read the classics? I love it!

Finally getting to read books

by Siniarch, United States, July 1, 2010

I read pretty slow and have been looking for a way to improve my speed. This app rocks. I've finally picked up Moby Dick and the speed reading aid is helping me focus, keep on track and slowly I'm increasing my words per minute reading speed. Highly recommend it!!!!

Great

by Scruffier, United States, June 30, 2010

Fast and easy to use

Great app!

by Creativename41, United States, June 30, 2010

I've done eye-q and Evelyn Wood's speed reading program and this is the best program I've seen that provides mobility with high quality training. Beautiful app, great job guys.

Nice

by Nolifewowfreak, United States, June 27, 2010

I read way faster now. Fun to

WOW – Great, great, great!

by Buckshot Robot, United States, June 27, 2010

Updated: LOVE IT STILL, just a thought though, would it be possible to add simple eye exercises that are not word related (meaning pictures or icons) which would 'warm up' the eyes. Would only make the app that much better, but it's already a PERFECT TEN. * * * * * * * * * * I have several other speed reading apps and the really expensive laptop program (you've seen the info-mercials) and I have to say on both mobility and ease of use this app beats them all. Pasteboard function is the #1 reason this app is far superior to all other similar apps on iTunes and with future updates it will be even better. If it was possible to access the library from Apps like 'Stanza' – this app would be out of control, but as it stands now, it's the best app in it's class, hands down. Thank you for this technology and keep up the great work.

Awesome

by Former Slow Reader, United States, June 26, 2010

Great app. It gives me the opportunity to practice anytime. And it lives up to its promises.

Quickreader

by kimchilds, United States, June 24, 2010

I love it!!

Kul app

by anders blixt, Sweden, June 17, 2010

A really good app that comes with good books. I'd give it a 5 because of the great effort and ambition from the developers. It's really giving me a great opportunity to read even faster and the pedagogical efforts from the developers isn't to complain. But I'll give it a 4 because I feel that iPhone isn't the best platform to read novells from. Thank you and keep up the great work!

Quickreader

by Mackdeezy, United States, June 16, 2010

Wow! I can't believe how well this app works! I was reading at a meager 124 words per minute before training with this app. Now, i'm blazing the trails with an impressive jaugernaut of a number…over one trillion wpm! Thanks quickreader

Mr

by Retired in Tucson, United States, June 15, 2010

A great little eReader, and 53 books, all for such a low price! One small thing; sometimes the top or bottom line is partially obscured.

Best Speed Reading app for the iphone

by Codigotrueno, United States, June 14, 2010

The app just deliver on its promises. A no compromise speed reading tool that´s easy to use and set. The support is also stellar. Can´t wait for the ipad version.

Great for speed learning speed reading

by Matt Wilkinson, United Kingdom, June 9, 2010

It's great for learning speed reading techniques, but should only be used alongside another e-book reader of your choice, not as your main reader. Not many features to allow permanent use. Too difficult to import books too. Would be nice to be able to download books from a regular Calibre server.

How I wish

by Sfactor07, Canada, June 8, 2010

Great app. Reading is such an essential skill. I do ponder how this app would have benifited those who knew the world before the PET computer era began. This app would make an excellent teaching suppliment tool. Now if we can only develope an app that can help improve students writing skills…..

Good investment

by GammysGal, United States, June 8, 2010

Good stuff! I've been meaning to read lots of the selections available (free!) through this ap–and I get help speeding up my words per minute! Well worth the price of admission!

QuickReader Review

by Muse/KT, United States, June 8, 2010

This app is amazing!!! The choice in books are great!!! I love it so much I put it in my favorites page! My reading speed increased too! 5 Stars all the way!

Great app

by Kiddert, United States, June 6, 2010

Before this app I was reading at 164 wpm in just two weeks I have increased my speed to 390 wpm! I love this app!

Outstanding

by HeavyGuns, United States, June 6, 2010

This is a great app, one of my favorites. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to future updates.

Quickreader V2…5 out of 5 stars!!!!

by Thisnicknameissoboring, United States, June 6, 2010

There's no point explaining this app since so many have given it justice. Nonetheless Quickreader V2..is a real gem, it really has and does rapidly increase my reading speed and understanding and it has so many useful options making it fun to use!!! GET QUICKREADER V2…(it's so effective really any version is good!!!)

Awesome!

by Michelle Fincher, United States, June 4, 2010

Really great program. Easy to use and increase reading fluidity. Love the choices in books too!!

I would also like to be able to read a doc or pdf file in quickreader. I'd love to see a higher rez iPad version of this app too!

Great app, love it. Would be nice if we can add own txt or PDF to read

by Jguo, United States, June 1, 2010

I love this app, improve my reading speed while I am on the commute. Would be nice if we can add our own reading source, such as text or PDF files, like the GoodReader. I love good reader, but it doesn't have speed read. Waiting for your next upgrade to including the feature.

Excellent app

by Vikidoc, United Kingdom, June 1, 2010

This app has definitely made reading on iPhone a pleasure. It would have been great if I could copy text from PDF files on iPhone into the app butthis does not seem possible at present.

Great Bank for the Buck

by Stephenw 37, United States, June 1, 2010

This App has everything! Great App.

Worth buying

by JSSVancouver, Canada, May 30, 2010

Very good app. I had bought a speed reading book and this is a much easier way to learn to read faster. One suggestion though…add in a feature where you can record your results from the speed reading texts; ie speed, how many word read in how much time, what book it was read in and what pages. If that was done it would be a major improvement. Also, suggestions are given in the manual on how to increase one's speed…it would be nice if the app could make a individual plan for one to increase their speed to a desired goal.

Great results & Easy to Use

by Tom Wilson, Australia, May 29, 2010

I am a Uni student who spends a good portion of my time reading. I did some private research into improving my learning skills and speed reading was recommend. I trialled the Lite version first and was so impressed I purchased the full version. I have noticed a measurable increase in my speed and comprehension. It is good to see app's such as this one utilise the iPhone effectively. I highly recommend anyone wanting to increase their knowledge base to first improve their speed reading skills by purchasing this app.

Excellent!

by A grateful user, United States, May 28, 2010

Thanks for adding the paste feature.

Love. Pure love.

by Catwiddabat, United States, May 23, 2010

I can read again!

Very good!

by Paolo Grisendi, Italy, May 21, 2010

I really enjoi this app, and i already see some improvements after a week i have been using it!

Great app!

by Tamara Bylsma, Canada, May 20, 2010

I've only been using it a short while, but I've already noticed an improvement in speed!

Delivers as promised… Speed reading is something I wanted to achieve for a long time, and QR is making it happen. Thanks!

Sweet

by Lord of Mofo, Canada, May 15, 2010

Free books and speed reading lesson all in one. Highly recommend

Definitely worth it!!

by Spacefuzz, United States, May 15, 2010

2.0 is stable for me. Love the new ebook download options. My speed AND reading habits (reducing regression, subvocalization, single-word reading, etc.) are all improving noticeably. Thank you. Please give us the option to disable the "Share via Twitter or Facebook" popup! My answer is No and will always be No!

Director

by Nisu74, United States, May 15, 2010

By far the best software for speed reading or pleasure. I was about to give it 4 stars, but the last update was major, now I have free access for thousands of books. Great job, guys! Can't wait for the Ipad version…

Excellent!

by Go Speedready!, United States, May 14, 2010

This app is awesome! I was wondering maybe you can install a dictionary. Because sometimes while I read I go over a word that I don't understand and then I have to stop and look up the definition. It really gets in the way of me making any progress.

QuickReader v2

by QR2, United States, May 13, 2010

Fantastic! They did it right. I have looked for speed reading help for years and even wrote an application for the PC. I thought I did a good job, but QuickReader just takes care of everything… Now with the addition of importing even more books, they have improved it even more. I have showed it to several children and they love it too.

Just Amazing!

by Acu-Gap, United States, May 12, 2010

I was such a slow reader and didn't like how painful reading could be for me until this app changed that. Now my reading speed is increasing and I am able to read the classic books I missed in my youth. With the new update and ability to download public domain books there is no reason not to download this app. High marks on the new update, keep up the good work!

Really good!

by Bdabble, United States, May 5, 2010

I use this software in combination with Instapaper…highly recommend the combined use…though, this app stands on it's own…well done!

Awesome app!

by Yoligail, United States, May 3, 2010

The only thing that would make it better is an iPad version!

I wish

by Chris Peterson, United States, April 29, 2010

there were an iPad version.

Incredible

by CydM, United States, April 28, 2010

Better and more effective than any program I've ever tried. It's always in my pocket for short training sessions. So far I've tripled my reading speed with better comprehension, making work easier and leisure reading more enjoyable. A steal at any price!

Very nice

by Chadlaugh, United States, April 22, 2010

It's worth it for the reader and books alone! Copying and pasting free ebooks in is a snap and the system really works to press you toward faster reading speeds. Read faster and great books!

I think it's a great app!

by kybluegrassboy, United States, April 19, 2010

Although I would love to have an easier way to import text.

well done

by cshonea, United States, April 19, 2010

Rock solid. Very configurable. More than a great speed reading app, it's become my text reader of choice. Highlighting makes it a great toiol for students with problems focusing.

Rivals eyeQ

by Mat Kordell, United States, April 17, 2010

This little app doesn't do all the fancy eye exercises of computer based alternatives but it does seem to get me reading at a more consistant pace and gradually raise my speed. I recently copied the bible into quick reader so that I can get my studying in while increasing my speed. Great app, well worth the $5 and couple minutes it takes per day.

Just add comprehension tests for a fifth star.

by Hajjilux, United States, April 12, 2010

Great app and useful "as is" but would be a rockstar if it tested and tracked both speed and comprehension.

Excellent

by Uniqu3gam3, United Kingdom, April 11, 2010

I have to say I had my doubts about this app but after using it for just 3 days I Reading speed went from 150wpm to 500wpm. Simply incredible!

Not far from great

by Shoddy Shogun, United Kingdom, April 10, 2010

Good app and solving one issue would make it great – being able to import books from other sources such as Stanza would be most appreciated.

by Hwakexx, United States, April 4, 2010

Great app

Love this program

by Bossmor, United States, March 30, 2010

I have always had a difficult time reading and staying focused but I have gone back to college at age 43 and want to get my bachelors in both Soanish and psychology. I can copy Spanish text as well as English an improve it. I have increased my reading from about 250 to 400. I know that is slow but I want to go on for a Masters and could never expect to accomlish it without increasing speed and comprehension. The only feature I wish it had was tracking so I could look at my overall progress as time goes on.

Reader

by dnt218, United States, March 8, 2010

Great tool for those learning to speed read.

A must have. Need some exercises though

by loulja, United States, March 3, 2010

If u like to read but would like to be faster at it, get this app! Would be nice to have some exercises like some speed reading software offer. How 'bout the Bible as a book choice too?

Fantastic!

by Sheng-cho Lai, Taiwan, February 28, 2010

Spending less than 5 bucks, you gathered more than 20 classic books. That's good!

Cool app

by Swimming Dave, United States, February 27, 2010

Very good app. Nice look and funcionality. LIke to see larger cut paste size, importing pdf's/ebooks and standard ebook formats. Also an option to increase the brightness of the highlighted text would be cool.

Excellent app

by Tessian, United States, February 26, 2010

Very nice quality, it really helps.

Thank you

by bryanbaik, United States, February 26, 2010

I study english with this tool. It's awesome. i can get a good score for exam

Needs more books

by Austin15b, United States, February 21, 2010

It's really good and helps with skills but can you please add a sports book!?!?

Well worth getting

by Canny1114, United Kingdom, February 16, 2010

Very useful app – have sleazy improved my reading speed after just a few sessions. Texts supplies are just right for learning to use the guided reading feature. The added bonus of being able to import your own choice of text means that you can use the guided reading tool with material you need to read. Excellent app – thanks!

Great app

by polandsr, United States, February 14, 2010

This app is very helpful for improving consistent reading speed. It has a good library of classics to enjoy and a great interface to assist you. My only gripe is there is no way to track my progress. Also, I would like to have some exercises to help increase reading speed.

Finding the right kind of App

by Emeraldragon, United States, February 7, 2010

Are you tired of crappy user interface? Low qulity apps that actually charge you for use? This is one of the few apps that have impressed me in both layout, user interface, and just pure quality. In fact it impressed me enough to write a review. If your looking to consume large amounts of knowledge in a short amount of time ( kind of like in the movie "the Matrix" ), then this is the app for you. With plenty of classic books to choose from and the easy to use interface this app definitly deserves a 5 out 5 stars. My only beef, is I think there needs to be some kind of course to follow. In addition to the introduction and guide already in quick reader.

Sweet!

by SpedReader, United States, February 3, 2010

This app was def worth the money. My reading speed has improved in 3 weeks, and the free books that come with it are great to practice and just to read. WORTH IT!

Does what is says!!!!

by Phishind, United States, January 26, 2010

This app has helped increase my reading speed. Abilities to change background color and highlight box size was very helpful.

Good app to get!

by xxGOOSExx, United States, January 24, 2010

This is a good app to get if you want to learn to read faster. I started out at 158 wpm and after one 10 minute lesson I was up to 220 wpm!

Great app

by Beatlefan1983, United States, January 22, 2010

Very simple but VERY effective. Constantly adding new books.

QuickReader

by Rafa-C, United States, January 16, 2010

Quickread is great. The library in the free app is quite good. If only I had more time to read. I haven't been using it that long so can't comment on any percievable improvement in speed reading but I'm hopeful.

JUST GREAT!!!

by Tomas Svitorka, United Kingdom, January 12, 2010

This is the app I have been waiting for for ages!! This is an amazing app for every speed-reader. Perfect training for real life reading. Great design, great features and this all is perfectly stable and working. This is the best speed reading I have came across so far, and I have tried them all… I swear. Looking forward to updates.

MD

by David Solis, United States, January 12, 2010

Very easy to use and uses the fundamentals of speedreading techniques in a very practical manner. I use it to read medical journals in my iPhone, and it surely saves me a lot of time.

QuickReader

by Nana Tucson, United States, January 10, 2010

After a couple of other unsuccessful programs, QuickReader was a better tool for me. In a few weeks of practice I went from below average of 196 wpm to 448 wpm which is a comfortable speed with good retention and comprehension. I may never reach the 3000 wpm, but for a 70 y/o who enjoys reading, I'm thrilled with the great results from QuickReader. I certainly will be reading more books. The price is very reasonable and worth it. I have highly recommended it to family and friends. Thanks for this great application! I'm also enjoying the upgrades…

Awesome App!!

by newSlider, United States, January 6, 2010

This is a really good/helpful app. It has a great UI and color scheme. It does, and is, exactly what you would want from this type of app. If I could add one feature, I would add a little graph to track progress on speed tests.

Well done!

by Lorna Pitre, Canada, January 2, 2010

Great concept, very nice interface. I only wish there were a better way to import other content. Getting things into the clipboard can be tricky….

Improved my reading

by cyberlogi, United States, December 30, 2009

I'm not sure I'll get to 3k words per minute, but I've read two books in the last 5 days and I have only been using this program for a month. I have definitely seen an improvement in my reading speed and I may even be retaining more of what I read.

What a deal

by bryan mcdonald, United States, December 29, 2009

Speed reading or not, for $4.99, one gets some wonderful books!!!! I love siddartha, one of my favorite books of all time.

Helpful app

by FelipeRam, United States, December 27, 2009

Ive been using this app for about a month and my reading has improved. Great price and lots of books. I wonder if I can add my own ebooks, I hope I do. Im happy with its performance.

Awesome

by J Nickleby, United States, December 22, 2009

I love this app. My reading speed is now five times faster. My only request is that you add a way to see and track reading comprehension. Other than that great app.

What I didn't realize I was looking for.

by Thepositiveone, United States, December 20, 2009

I love the new paste board. The only downfall with the paste board is when your finished with the material you have to go to normal reading mode and manually index the pages back, to get to the beginning. This is not very handy if you would like to read the material more than once. Other than that as previously stated: Perfect! Perfect! Perfection! I've doubled my reading speed in about a week and a half. More importantly, I've found a focus that I hadn't realized I was lacking. I was a little disappointed when two days after I bought the app, it dropped half price for an introductory price. However, it's worth much more than the full price anyways. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced a high from this. I get this speed buzz, like an energy drink high without the drop. My focus is astounding. It's like my mind is clicking, to a metronome or something to that effect. I feel happier after practicing. My trouble shooting skills click as well. Well, in any effect, hopfully it's addicting. Is there any chance of adding new books in the future? Also, is there a chance that the WPM will increase from 2000 in the future?

QuickReader

by Alan Wherry, United States, December 17, 2009

I like the new version, it has copy and paste support to import content, an increased guide speed to 3000 WPM, a way to turn the guide off so it just turns the pages and a demo video – pretty cool stuff. I use this all the time and it's well worth the money. It's got two uses I value. As an ebook reader it allows lots of customisations but also an elegant interface and a touch-free reading mode (the guided reading). As a speed reading App, it promotes natural eye tracking without silly eye excercises or worse, staring at the screen while words are flashed at you (which some Apps do). I also like that you can import and save your own content. This has got to be one of the best readers out there. Highly reccomended.

QuickReader 1.1 upgrade in time for the holidays

by gabe97330, United States, December 17, 2009

I just got the upgrade which adds polish and features like copy/past to an already nice app. I have been using the previous version to improve my reading speed when on the go. What I was surprised by was that my wife liked the new version. She had checked out the previous version but it didn't click. The fact that she is getting an iPhone this month and the intro video changed her mind and this app is going to be one of the first I purchase for her.

I have been waiting for this

by MusicServer, Canada, December 16, 2009

Very well done. Beautiful UI, but more importantly this app allows me to improve my reading skills while reading full pages of text, not just having 2 or 3 words at a time flash on the screen.

Best speed Reading app

by Ltsd, United Kingdom, December 16, 2009

This is certainly the best speed Reading app with all the configurations you could wish for. Really need to be able to import your own books and text for when you have finished Reading the built in books (which won't be long given the speed you will be Reading)! ———- Update: unbelievable! They implemented my change request in less than a week. The best just got better. Now this app really has no competition. May I request another improvement? It would be nice to be able to change the speed whilst Reading without having to go into settings (unless I have missed how to do this) Thanks for adding the text import so quickly!

Great!!!

by Cwebb3, United States, December 10, 2009

This app is by far the best investment I have made besides buying the newest Ipod touch. I used it one time, ONE TIME and already my reading speed sky rocketed. I was studying for a psych test and it allowed me to use the new techniques I learned in using the app for such a short time to double the amount I was able to read. At the University of Rochester, reading fast is a big skill and this gives me a competitive advantage if I do say so myself. Maybe you can make it were I can upload or by my texbooks right on the app. Great job guys

Very impressive

by Robbie Clarken, Australia, December 7, 2009

This app does an excellent job of training the eye to absorb more words at a greater pace. The selection of books is well chosen, the program is simple to use (with a clean UI) and performs it's functions perfectly. A few features that I'd like to see in an update: ability to upload your own books (even if it is restricted to only txt format) and the option of comprehension tests at the end of the chapter. This latter feature is especially desirable because it would help the reader ensure he is understanding what he reads rather than passively skimming the words. Absent these features this app is still an excellent speed reading program which I highly recomend.

Great App

by chevytahoe77, United States, December 5, 2009

I've tried the app a few times and can already tell that I am able to read faster. Great app!!!!!

Great app

by Dakotabluegrass, United States, December 5, 2009

I have looked for years for a program like this. Portable and effective. I find myself using this 4 or more times a day and I see improvement in my reading. The only drawback is not being able to drop in text of my own or other books. A situation they say they are working on. All in all the best, most well thought out app I own. Well worth the investment!

Very impressive

by Chris Prew, United States, November 29, 2009

Nicely featured app. Works well. Put me on the list of people who would like to be able to import your own materials – txt, rtf, LIT and other book formats would make this a crazy great app. Also, an increase in the selection of classics. Link up with project Gutenberg. Great job!

Beautiful, easy to use app is quite helpful too.

by Satyajit Grover, United States, November 23, 2009

This app has a beautiful interface and is a delight to use. It has improved my reading speed and continues to go so. I've known for a while that I'm a not a very fast reader. I say it to my friends all the time. I wanted to do something about it but didn't want to invest a lot of time into it. Now with QuickReader I can spend short amounts if idle/commute times and it benefits my speed without having to set aside a chunk of time.

Anphib

by Anphib, Canada, November 21, 2009

Just started using this app and have already noticed a significant improvement with my reading speed, from reading the newspaper to reading text on the tv I'm amazed at how well this training app has affected me.

Awesome idea so well implemented.

by David Pettigrew, United States, November 18, 2009

Quickreader is a great new learning tool to have on my iPhone. I have read about speed reading and tried some exercises in the past but this is so much better to help you get started with the basic technique. I am just getting started but I am already noticing a difference. It comes with a great selection of classic books to read which are worth the price alone. If you want to read faster, I highly recommend it.

Excellent app!

by wrosecity, United States, November 18, 2009

This app is so much easier than taking a classroom based speed reading course! I can work at my own pace and use it when it fits my schedule. I read a lot of of computer industry blogs and it would great if there were a way to import outside content. The reading material included with the app is great, but it is mostly literature. This app is going to save me a lot of time as my reading improves.

Great app and excellent learning tool!

by bendingcomments, United States, November 16, 2009

I was looking for an app like this! The interface is elegant and easy to use … plus it has a nice library.

One request

by DS7777, United States, November 16, 2009

PLEASE, please add the ability to import your own text. That would make this app so incredibly useful! Excellent first version, though.

Great Reading App

by GuruRaj, United States, November 15, 2009

QuickReader is designed to improve your reading speed. I was skeptical at first, but after a few sessions with the app, I can actually feel myself improving

5 stars! Great program!

by Nicholas Melin, United States, November 14, 2009

I don't usually bother with reviews, but this software is out-standing! I've always head trouble with reading too slowly, and speedreading systems I've tried before had a lot of shortcomings. This program is enjoyable, challenging, and effective. The included books also make you feel like your not just practicing a technique, you can actually read something enjoyable! One feature i would love to see – make it possible to import your own ebooks – that would make this the most useful ebooks reader ever made! Even without that feature this program is worth much more than the cost.

QuickReader Delivers!

by Marcus97321, United States, November 14, 2009

QuickReader is a well-designed application that works! It trains readers to read more quickly and with greater comprehension. The UI is clean, and use is intuitive. A variety of interesting books are provided for the reading speed tests and practice readings. After a week with the application I tested at over 600 words/minute. I'm glad to have QuickReader on my iPhone, it's the one application I use during down time (typically waiting on lines) that actually provides a tangible benefit. It is well worth the price, and I highly recommend it.

Works Right from the Start

by dawson54, United States, November 14, 2009

I've tried several speed reading books. While I grasped the general concept, what I lacked was a program like Quickreader to pace myself and build speed gradually. Right from the start, I'm reading everything in several-word gulps, without pausing to say the words to myself. The result: much better comprehension, and much more enjoyable reading. All-in-all, a very fine program.

intuitive tool for speed reading

by zKevinl, United States, November 14, 2009

A simple yet very powerful tool. With reading test, knowing where I am standing is rediculously easy. I can do exercise and measure the effectiveness instantaneously. The settings are nice and easy to handle. Anyone interested to improve reading speed can benefit from this app.

MD Technology

by Anjan Upadhya, United States, November 13, 2009

Really awesome app. Love the fact that it comes with a good library to begin with. The guided reading takes a little getting used to but once the eyes adjust, its a lot of fun. I really think its a great tool for improving your reading skills and can teach a good reader a trick or two.

Great job!

by Rickness66, United States, November 13, 2009

I've taken several speed reading courses and this program does more than all of them combined for about $300 less. There is another iphone reader (beamitdown) that is touchless and a natural extension once you've 'graduated' and are looking for more material, I'd love to see the developers come together on a joint project. Meantime, get this!

Handy Tool to Pick Up the Pace

by Rob Banagale, United States, November 13, 2009

I read a ton off the web, so anything to get an edge on information consumption is good for me. This application has the customization options needed to work on training up my ability to read and understand text quickly. I've also read two books on the Kindle iPhone app and was pleased to see the selection of classic works in there. If I were to add something, it would be to be able to have my most recently read books automatically moved ot the top of the library for quicker reference.

Effortless learning!

by Todd H., United States, November 12, 2009

QuickReader with it's elegant UI gives you just what you need to improve your reading speed while enjoying classic texts included with the app. Perfectly suited for the iPhone, the app has only the required information and interfaces–nothing more–to make it simple to navigate. Using the guided reading exercises, you'll learn to re-train your eyes about how to scan text and improve your reading speed with no impact to accuracy. The app is so easy, that you won't even realize just how much you've benefited until you attempt some of your regular reading and find that you are reading at a signficantly faster pace. I'm going to continue with the exercises to see just how much faster I can go without losing accuracy!

Great app

by mobi_do, United States, November 12, 2009

This app is well designed (you don't find that often) and works great. I am not the fastest reader but I am getting better. great teaching and learning tool at a great price.

Great app

by Caldwellone, United States, November 9, 2009

I have dabbled with speed reading for a few years now. Most of the techniques I came across are mentioned here but they could be explained in a bit more detail in the tutorial. With practice, this app could easily double your reading speed in a short time(a few hours a week I would say). I would give it 5 stars if I could copy/paste articles into it. Most of my reading is blogs/online news and it would be great if I could use my own material to practice with.

Best Speed-Reading Software Available (should be ported to the Mac)

by Kenneth Wedin, Canada, November 6, 2009

QuickReader is the only worthwhile speed-reading software currently available on the App Store, other than Read Demon, which I admittedly have not purchased since it does not appear to have a five-word-segment option in its settings, as four- to six-word segments seems to be the most comfortable and comprehendible chunk of information for me while reading. QuickReader is the most Mac-like speed-reading software that I’ve ever discovered, other than iVerbum’s iSpeedRead, of which an iPhone version has not yet been (may never be) created. They both put the venerable AceReader Pro to shame and don’t suffer from the typical Java code ugliness or bugginess that is found in other un-Mac-like speed-reading software. I urge Inkstone to port this to the Mac (probably using the same development software used for this version), and I’d be happy to pay four times this introductory price for a Mac version, as the frequent page turning on this iPhone is dizzying, especially at my target 600 wpm. My main complaints about this current version of QuickReader are as follows: • I’d either like access to all of the Gutenberg library or would like to import my own RTF ebooks from my Mac with their nice curly (smart) quotes and em-dashes—or preferably both of these possibilities. • I’d like the Guide Stops settings for landscape and normal mode to be differentiated, so that I could set two stops for normal orientation and three stops for landscape orientation, since I do rotate the iPhone from time to time during a reading session and don’t want to repeatedly change the settings manually.

Very good Application!

by Gary Davies, Canada, November 5, 2009

Got this for my 15 year old son, but I use it more than him. Hopefully, he will benefit from this app in the future. It would be great if the Bible was included with the product.

Been look for an app like this

by JonKyu, United States, November 2, 2009

Really great! I was wondering when an app like this would come to the app store!! Good selection of titles. I hope to be able to add my own books to this, or perhaps get an increase in book selection? Looking forward to future updates and getting some practice reading faster!!!

Good reads but better learning

by t mcky, United States, October 28, 2009

Tried other speed reading trainers but this is the best. Books included are classics I've been meaning to read but what's better is I can apply what I'm learning to anything else I want to read. Already feel like I'm reading at least twice as fast and paying better attention. Andl what I'm learning is life long! Great app!

You'll be amazed!

by ___jennifer___, United States, October 28, 2009

I tried the included speed test and clocked in at 583 words. Pretty respectable, I thought. Then I turned on the guides, tweaked them to my preferences, and in no time was reading nearly 25% faster and I am still picking up speed – with good comprehension and retention. The app comes with some great classic literature for you to brush up on. Try it and you'll wish all your correspondence and reading came with QuickReader guides!

Nice speed reading app

by PortlandMatt, United States, October 25, 2009

cool app for speedreading. Great idea to help with all of the scientific papers I am faced with.

Help you learn to read faster

by Issam Qadan, United States, October 20, 2009

I have been playing with quickreader over the weekend and I have to admit I am very impressed. It's amazing what you can customize, there isn't an e-reader app exists today on the app store that let's you customize as much as this app does, which makes the QuickReader a full featured e-reader in additions to being speedreader. You want bigger font, you can customize that, you want different font type, you can change that also. You want to change the colors, you can either choose from many built-in themes or you can customize one your self. In additions to that, this app can help you read faster over time. Imagine being able to read faster over time. Here is how I do it my self: First, I will take a speed reading test to see where i am at: then I will adjust the guided reading speed to be slightly above that — then I will increase this over time. So this app has all what you need to improve your speed reading ability. It's definitely worth the $9.99 price.

Simply a great app

by ruben.gamez, United States, October 16, 2009

This is an awesome app! I'm impressed and actually excited! I think if I put enough time in, I can finally learn to read faster. This is exactly the sort of thing I needed to get past the problems I keep having every time I try (three times). Highly recommended!

What a great idea!

by Lisa Harbaugh, United States, October 16, 2009

This app is amazingly effective! I had not heard about speed reading before, but by simply trying Quick-Reader I could see the benefit right away. As a musician I immediately understood the concept: it's like a metronome for reading, it keeps me on track and keeps me focused. It's necessary for me to read many texts for my work. The Quick-Reader app allows me to adjust the formatting of the text to my liking with no distraction to my attention. The meter helps me attain a rhythm in reading I had not experienced before, and I not only achieved a momentum in reading more text but also in better retaining the provided information. Truthfully, I find this app very useful for work-related reading, but I still prefer to ponder recreational books at my own leasure.
